magazine editor isis colombe combreas

Without a doubt, one of my favourite magazines is Milk. It's French - "le magazine de mode enfantine". It has the most inspired, fantastical photo shoots. Truly worth buying just for them (most of the mag is also translated into English, too). It's so good, in fact, that I'd recommend even if you DON'T have children. Meet Isis - the founder and editor.
