Elle UK's 25th Anniversary Issue with Kate Hudson

Need I tell you how much I love Elle UK, more than any other fashion magazine? It's true. It's been a love affair for almost 20 years, even since I was a co-ed on the U.C. Berkeley campus. After class, I would head over to Cody's Bookstore on Telegraph Avenue and browse through all the fashion magazines. Don't get me wrong, I do love my American fashion mags (and I subscribe to them), but the UK edition has always had much better fashion features and editorial in my book.

And now, this is best issue ever with Elle's 25th Anniversary Special Collector's Issue with Kate Hudson looking super modern 80's glam on the cover. Watch the behind the scenes video with Kate here.

There are 5 special edition covers to collect. In addition to Kate Hudson, pick up Helena Christensen, Coco Rocha, Naomi Campbell, and John Galliano.

The issue features an exclusive interview with Dolce & Gabbana and a unique collaboration with John Galliano. Supermodel Naomi Campbell gives a candid interview and Helena Christensen stars in new shoots along with Patti Smith, Alexander Skarsgård and Rachel Even Wood. Model of the moment, Coco Rocha, smoulders in an extraordinary fashion story that celebrates 25 essential elements of timeless style.

For you lucky UK readers, pick up this issue now! For those of us in the US and elsewhere, it might take a bit of time but be on the look out at your favorite newsstand/bookstore or buy it online. This issue is not to be missed!
