The best part about working in magazines, in my opinion, is making thingsâcoming up with a concept then seeing it realized, put together in a layout (more often than not on my desk, with paper and scissors), and flung out into the world. Without an idea, a strong visual concept, youâre nowhere. And I donât care whether youâre reading the print version of InStyle or an Instagram captionâitâs the same. Itâs all basically a magazine.
My point is, thereâs a real, old-fashioned pleasure in âthe making of.â Especially in the case of this Beauty Issue. Our cover star, Jennifer Aniston, has been an American beauty ideal for 25 years. She has, incredibly, maintained her status as the biggest-selling magazine cover star, and, famously, she also maintains herself (girl is hot).âŠ
