I like all of the above, female modeled magazine covers as they use very stereo typically feminine colours and are dressed in very womanly clothes, however because of their stances and the way they are positioned, looking conventionally into the camera, it shows that they are bold, confident and daring therefore contrasting their seemingly stereotypical representation. I think that the models are slightly sexualised however it is not in a demeaning way, i think it is in an empowering way as it is encouraging women to be who they want to be and act like/do what makes them happy and feel fulfilled.
I also like these magazine covers using Male models instead of females. I think that mens fashion is not represented enough in magazines, especially in England, and the magazines for male fashion that do currently exist revolve around only stereo typically attractive, wealth males. All of the models here are conventionally looking into camera in a confident and dominant way. However, they are all positioned in similar ways with their faces and arms being the most focused area of the photographs. I do not think that these men are being sexualised in any ways as the women are being, but their attractive faces and stereo typically attractive bodies are clearly on show on purpose. Also, the colours used here are very stereo typically male as they are dark and dull rather than bright or colourful, again linking to the stereotypes of mens clothing.
