A strong early-2000s issue of FRONT combining glamour photography, humour, sport, entertainment, lifestyle and contemporary features.

Jordan Cover & Feature

The main cover star is Jordan, photographed wearing a distinctive red cowboy hat and tartan styling. The cover promotes an exclusive Jordan feature, and the contents confirm it begins on page 46.

Inside, the photographed pages show a substantial multi-page Jordan pictorial with several different studio setups and outfits. One particularly striking double-page spread uses a dark background with Jordan styled with white bunny ears, white stockings and heels, giving the feature the bold, highly recognisable early-2000s FRONT magazine aesthetic.

The contents imagery also shows further Jordan photographs across the issue, making this a particularly attractive copy for collectors of her early magazine appearances.

Katie Richmond

The cover additionally promotes Katie Richmond and friends, connected with the magazine's calendar-themed content.

The photographed contents pages show Katie Richmond appearing alongside Emma Barton in the “One-On-One” feature listed on page 62.
