50 and feeling...FRESH

Well we never knew that hitting fifty was so reFRESHing! Our 50th issue is on sale now with four collectable covers to mark the occasion.

The covers have been shot by leading fashion photographers Gavin Harrison, Robert Mendolia, Gregory Vaughan and Wander Aguiar and feature some of the hottest male model talent from both sides of the Atlantic.

The photographic collaborations continue inside the magazine - LA-based Ben Marshall shoots Dantes Cove star Jon Fleming; Troy Phillips trains his lens on All My Children star (and former reFRESH cover guy) Aiden Turner and our very own Cate Hayter presents a black and white study of another former reFRESH cover guy Alex Beer. Alex also graces one of our four covers (bottom left on the image). Our main fashion editorials have been shot by French photographer Eric Sposito and model-turned photographer, Wander Aguiar.

Editorial highlights include: a special focus on dance with interviews with aerialist Ari Levanael and French dance and acrobatic troupe, Les Farfadais. Steven Gdula's series on the fashionable and secret history of gay men’s clothes explores the war years and another new regular J.C.Parrish starts his series on Hollywood Greats with a look at Lana Turner. Regular columnist Arthur Wooten entertains with his Dear Henry letter and we enter the world of Divas (of the 18th century variety) with a look ahead to the new exhibition 'Handel & the Divas' at the Handel House Museum in London.

Editor-in-Chief David Tickner, who launched and has helmed the magazine since the first issue, is pleased to celebrate this milestone for the magazine,  “To retain an unbroken presence on the newsstand for the last six years is a testimony to the dedication and hard work of all the people who work and support the magazine. It seemed entirely fitting that we should therefore do something special to celebrate our 50th edition and since we have always had a top quality photography in the magazine since Issue 1, producing four covers for our readers seemed particularly appropriate.”
