Libertine Magazine: New Optimism

Libertine Magazine is a youth culture magazine based in London that aims to be the first global publication run entirely by young people.
History
The Team
Soon after launching Libertine's website, Kingham and Mourkogiannis introduced an innovative e-application which young people across the UK could use to apply to become a member of the Libertine team. Writers, photographers, editors and designers from across the country began to submit their applications and soon enough Libertine had become more than two girls and a laptop.
Issues
Issue 0, released September 2009, revolved around the concept of a fresh start, a blank slate: a new beginning for magazines. 1000 copies were distributed to the media and young people at selected events across London. Photoshoots under the direction of Amberly Valentine took place, with appearances from models Sosheba Griffiths and Alys Hale. The cover - which features clothing from graduate designer Natasha Shanks - displays up&coming face Emma Drinkwater wearing a black strip across her eyes.
Issue 1: Super/Natural
Issue 1 will be released in April 2010.
