Lind & McGregor Unveil Polyester Zine Cover

Emily Alyn Lind presents a vision of youthful romance in a pristine white dress, its silhouette flowing and almost ethereal, with delicate ruffles adding texture. Her blonde hair, styled with a distinct, short fringe and soft waves, frames a gaze that is both demure and knowing. The simplicity of her dress is given an edge by what appears to be chunky, platform sneakers, grounding the angelic look with a touch of rebellious cool, a nod to the Y2K resurgence seen across recent collections.

Esther McGregor, on the other hand, embraces a more active, almost tennis-inspired chic with a long-sleeved white top and a pleated mini-skirt. Her platinum blonde hair and fringe mirror Lind’s, creating a visual harmony, while her stance—dynamic and poised—suggests a more assertive energy. She, too, sports substantial platform footwear, tying into the collective aesthetic that prioritizes comfort with a bold, retro-futuristic twist.

Joseph Zada and Shubham Maheshwari complete the dynamic, each in relaxed, tonal outfits that complement the “dollhouse” theme without overshadowing the leading ladies. The entire spread feels like a carefully constructed tableau, a modern take on youthful rebellion wrapped in saccharine packaging. It’s an editorial narrative that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking, perfectly aligning with Polyester Zine’s distinctive voice.
