Rue La La’s Q+A with Jade Frampton:
What is Modern Love? 
To me Modern Love means embracing your individuality.  Its all about personal style and whatever makes you feel your best.  Weather its sharing a glass of champagne with a loved one or slipping on a beautiful lingerie set, its all about you and what makes you feel confident and sexy.
 
What traditional elements of romance are you still into?
I am old fashioned so love letters, flowers, chocolates all do it for me

Who are some couples who embody Modern Love in a great way?
JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bissette-Kennedy and Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash
 
Rue La La’s Q+A with Kate Davidson Hudson:

 
What made ELLE undertake an examination of “Modern Love”?
Modern love is the idea that men and women personify love in individually unique ways. At Elle, we love to explore a women’s sense of self and personal style whether it is in the way she dresses, lives, or loves.

What was your best/worst Valentine’s Day ever?
My best Valentine’s Day was when my husband and I just started dating and he made a huge dinner at his apartment, including a home-made risotto. It might have been a little rubber-y, but the effort was so sweet.

Who are some couples who embody Modern Love in a great way?
The couples who’s love has endured them through the test of time…the Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s of the world.
