Allure December 2020/January 2021 : Pharrell by Ben Hassett

This makes me want to push his head further in to the water...I’ll leave it to the readers imagination what happens next.

 

Just kill this magazine already and let it die with some dignity.

 

Huh??????

 

I really don't like Pharrell.

 

desperate... this predicts this magazine‘s future

 

Michelle is terrible. How can Anna don’t see this?

 

I live for your consistently bewildered reactions to the choices magazines are making lately.

 

What

 

That could be a cool album cover.

 

Pathetic

 

And to think of all the beautiful women who graced this magazine once... Linda, Cindy, Claudia, Niki Taylor...

 

Well, it's so random I don't think any of us could've guessed this.

 

And in an ideal world of fantasy magazines, bring Linda Wells back to curate the farewell issue full of reprinted work from Kevyn Aucoin and Steven Meisel, with all her first-hand experience of working in the industry during those decades. Get Stephanie Seymour to cover the last issue the same way she did with the first. 1991-2021.

 

He's the male Rihanna, anything for a cheque.
Of course he looks good for his age, but is he associated with skincare? Just feels so random. And then there's allure who is prepared to give a cover to any celebrity with a makeup/skincare range.

It's a shame that such a great image concept was wasted on him, but I do actually like the concept and colours. Just not with him.

 

You have to be a really stunning very photogenic supermodel to pull this off. Pharrell is not hard to photograph but this is just weird. The lines were not necessary neither was the slanted angle and darker skin tone.

 

No wonder the readership of this magazine is declining year by year - it's like they do it on purpose and don't even try anymore.

 

This is giving me ANTM Cycle 11

 

Except ANTM11's girls were supposed to be noch less monsters and he looks like a dead fish here.

 

jumping from the US Vogue December 2020 cover thread to this and I’m like, if had seen this one first I would’ve enjoyed Harry’s cover a little more. or not. probably not.

it’s just not a picture worthy of a cover magazine, especially for Allure.
