I really enjoy Hans work but he was the wrong photographer for this magazine. You need someone extremely diverse for a magazine that consists in a really big number of fashion shots. I love his work but more than a 14 pages editorial is too much, this looks extremely repetitive and the attempt to spice it up with the different styling just made it all worst.
lol at chicken feathers and eggs in that one shot with Jourdan. Like, really, on the street?
Talk about tiresome and rote. Those kinetic street shots could've easily been photographed by Tommy Ton or even any street style photographer right now.

Easily... yeah, I don't think so. While this doesn't have to be your cup of tea, here's a man who's doing this since the '60s, one of the pioneers and a figurhead of street fashion photography, who knows his way around natural light like very few fashion photographers today, that still brings one-of-a-kind energy and enthusiasm with each of the shots that just could never be substituted with what we call street style photography today, ever. And why would he be doing something different when this genre is what he practically invented.
This is much less artificial then those 'real' street style photos when your think of it.
This issue is to honour him, in a way, and I like every bit of it. Sometimes styling falls flat, but overall issue is quite mesmerizing, a must have if you're a Hans fan.
Sure, sure. I'm aware of Hans' style but I was talking about the creative direction in this issue in particular, not his oeuvre. He's definitely capable of producing vigorous photos, but here he's constrained by a theme. And as for the street style comparison, my point is that the whole street looks he did in this issue is something that's utilized widely that it has become very common. It's not exactly a compelling concept.
