The story of one of the most influential fashion magazines. Published in London between March 1965 and October 1975, Nova was above all an avant-garde magazine, influential and atypical in the choice and variety of subjects covered. Because beyond having been a feminine fashion magazine, Nova tackled themes then considered “taboo”: abortion, contraception, homosexuality, divorce, feminism, etc. Product “made in Swinging London”, Nova also innovated in terms of layout, freedom of tone and photographs. This compilation, which resembles a sort of “Best of”, reproduces the 200 covers of the magazine, the most beautiful reports and the most striking photographs (signed among others by Terence Donovan, Sarah Moon, Helmut Newton, Don McCullin, Hans Feurer…).
