Novella Magazine Issue 1 (Romance) is available on loremnotipsum.com. In this first issue, we have asked contributors to take stock of their material world as it relates to fashion and romance. Within the following pages you will find an inventory of our research, artifacts, and reflections on these themes, ranging from insights into the use of apparel within romance fiction, clothing and compatibility within relationships, as well as reflections on the cultural symbolism of the wedding dress and the nostalgia of clothing from a not-too-distant past.
