Nova

The main value of this magazine is how pleasing it is on the eye, I have to be honest. It is quite different to other fashion magazines in that it offers a totally different approach to beauty. It is often quite dark, but not in the pretentious way, or the overtly characterised way that we often see in magazines such as Vogue. It is fresh in that it seeks to be different, but not for the sake of being different, but to offer the reader something other than the mindlessness of magazines we would typically find today. It hits a nerve.

Although I would suggest that this magazine is worth buying merely for what it offers visually, it is also an extremely informative magazine, dealing with all manner of issues etc, that you would expect from a publication of its merit. It is very well written, the articles are intelligently dealt with and it is a very good way of finding out not only about who's dating who, but also health issues, etc. All the articles I have read have been well researched and sensitively dealt with.

It is a magazine that I would recommend anyone who wants to buy glossy magazines but also wants to make a choice that will inspire them, not least mentally.
