Notion 052 – Now Live on Facebook and Website!

After issue 51’s menswear focus, here is our unofficial ode to the girls: four magnificent, independently-minded women – Marina Diamandis, Micachu, Charli XCX and Nicola Roberts – show the many faces of pop, while we investigate future androgyny and there’s our usual blend of fierce fashion, majestic music, cutting-edge culture and irreverent ideas.
