The fourth issue of Stella magazine, The Dark Issue. You might think that ‘darkness’ is quite a sombre theme for the spring issue of Stella Magazine, but the stories are not about death, evil, metal and goth as one might expect. Instead we have focused on the light side of darkness – different shades of grey where melancholy resides – a place from which a lot of grand art has originated. In the issue you will find an interview with the Danish artist Maria Rubinke, an article about music from Iceland and a delicious recipe for a the darkest chocolate cake, plus lots of other good stuff.

Stella is a biannual magazine based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The magazine feature women who are interesting because of what they do and think rather than how they look or how big a wardrobe they’ve got. Stella magazine is founded and art directed by Laura Terp Hansen.
