DAVID BECKHAM: ICON, LOVER & HERO

Just so you don't think i'm obsessed with David Beckham, the post title is actually the caption on the cover haha...I subscribed to Elle in May and my first issue due was this David Beckham collector issue which I initially thought was one of the two covers released earlier this week...I was in fact wrong. I got in earlier, ripped open the packaging (carefully of course) and much to my surprise was this cover which I just love! I really like how the Elle team have played around with the fonts to give it a more masculine look, although, I am glad they don't regularly play around with the fonts!  

Well wasn't this just a random post! I just wanted to share with you this months lovely issue of Elle and my joy at becoming a subscriber - although I like the idea of different covers, I do really enjoy going out and buying magazines each month...is that just me?

DAVID BECKHAM COVERS ELLE UK

As many of you may already know, David Beckham was chosen to feature on the July cover of Elle UK as the first ever solo male cover star in honour of the upcoming olympic games. I'm slightly confused as to if both the above covers are for the newsstand and the subscribers is yet to be released, or if one of these is in fact the subscribers cover....either way I'm not really sure which cover I prefer....

Elle UK editor, Lorraine Candy, said: "David Beckham is a national hero... He is an icon and Elle is known for featuring icons on its cover. This is a first for us on the newsstand and I believe he is loved by men and women alike. Anyway, who doesn’t want to see a picture of one of the world’s most handsome men on the front cover of a magazine? It will be a collector’s issue."

This issue hits newsstands on Wednesday (30th), but if you just cannot wait that long then you can check out the teaser trailer here for a quick sneak peek. I finally got around to subscribing to Elle this month so I'm super excited to see the cover shot because the newsstand one is great! 

Do you like David Beckham's Elle UK covers? Which do you prefer? Would you like to see more male cover stars?

**I have since discovered (I think) that the top cover is the collectors subscribers cover and the bottom is the newsstand...I'm quite pleased about that...**
