The cover could've been better but the cover choice is amazing. They could've done wonders with him!

Andrej bores me.

^ ditto, I still don't get, after sooooooo many shoots of him, why a guy dressed up as a woman should be interesting or news worthy for men or women. Gabrielle Chanel, Christian Dior and the generation of past legendary designers would be horrified to see what fashion is nowadays or who interprets fashion. I don't find Andrej alluring/sexy or interesting whatsoever, it's very confusing to see him dressed up as a woman everywhere and for him to land a women's magazine cover. I don't like this "trend" at all, but obviously everybody's entitled to their own opinion and as much as I love fashion, I don't think we should be blind and follow/respect/obey to everything we see/hear/know about the fashion industry. Sorry to be blunt but I think we need male models in men's fashion and female models in women's magazines; yes it's fun and interesting to have both and sometimes to mix things up, it's really refreshing but to have male models as drag just for the purpose of what "Fashion" feels is "trendy" nowadays, I don't think so.

he takes good pictures but for such a magazine it just doesnt work his masculine traits are showing in the pics

 

[Prairie]

Can't believe people still care for him. All those provocative comments about clothes are just annoying.
I don't get why people are obsessed with everything 'unusual'. Especially when it comes to the fashion magazines like "Fashion" whose target audience is totally not about gagas and andrejs. Come on, make a beautiful cover with a real women, not with the one who pretend to be her!
Need to admit, I have nothing against Andrej himself, I'm just annoyed by the way fashion magazines make him look.

 

[GlamorousBoy]

I am seriously bored of him

 

[Ives927]

Yawn. He was so two seasons ago. Hasn't fashion found someone new to obsess over?

Wait, it's Canadian. Of course we eat up the left overs.

 

[chloesaab]

I've never found him interesting but he's definitely not boring i think his face looks beyond gorgeous on the cover, but i don't like the ed

 

[fluxxx]

nothing against him, but it would be better if a real female model graces the cover...so boring and predictable about what the stylist is about to do with Andrej.

Exactly.

 

[TeeVanity]

^ wow verdicts in majority dislike the cover and editorial. It's an okay cover and editorial, nothing new or exciting.

 

[YourMonster]

I love it. Love Andrej Love the Cover Love His look. Hes F*cken rad!

 

[jemina]

I'm over Andrej dressed as woman

 

[Nepenthes]

Andrej should do more male model work. That way, his androgyny is less obvious and much more interesting. I'm just over this look for him.

 

[clo]

I just cannot see this Andrej fella anymore. Totally tired of him.

my thoughts EXACTLY! this whole thing is rubbish sorry.

Everyone has to understand the context of this shoot: It's for a mainstream Canadian fashion magazine. Concepts and creative direction has to be simple and extremely accessible for their readers. So, a beautiful boy dressed as a traditionally beautiful girl is what the readers will understand; ambiguity and androgyny will be too severe and unconventional for them to accept. Canadian's approach to fashion is all about conventional "prettiness".

As Ives927 stated, Canadian fashion only embraces trends that have already been accepted by international mainstream fashion, and therefore "safe"-- in other words, overdone and boring.

Having said that, it's even too boring for a catalogue shoot. The amount of blandness in the Canadian fashion industry still astounds me. (Andrej looks very pretty though-- like a dead ringer for a young Rachel Williams...)

I just don't get why every publication insists on dressing him up as a girl. We get it, he's gay and he's feminine but that's no excuse. The concept has been used way too many times that is has become stale and boring. I don't mind seeing a male model gracing the cover of a women's fashion magazine every once in a while and vice-versa if the concept is unique, fresh, and creative not boring, stale and over used. I'm seriously over Andrej being used in that way and it's not an attack on him. Fashion today is beginning to make me gag. I'm so nostalgic for the 90s and early 2000s
