I wanna know what’s inside the mind of the art director. That gradient was a choice.

Decent shot

I was hoping, as I clicked onto this thread, they'd shot this before he got rid of the bleached hair, and I'm so glad they did. I'm not typically a huge fan of athletes on GQ, but he's incredibly handsome and has some level of interest in fashion, so I'm not mad at it in this case.

 

[GivenchyAddict]

It's chic. It's generic.

Was happy enough when I read the title because who doesn't like Odell, right? He's as tacky with his thirst trapping ways as The Game, but at least his public profile is without blemish from what I know.
But the beard looks......well, I won't say what it looks like, but it's bothersome at best. I know it's his thing, but at least trim it. That's a minor quibble though.
Couldn't Kudacki pick up that the angle with his neck turned like that doesn't work for a cover? And the digital backdrop cheapens the entire thing.

 

[Lola701]

He is very handsome...Quite stunning. Feeling like a teenager right now...
Too bad it was shot pre-haircut.

 

[mepps]

He's super handsome, and that cover is actually quite chic for him. I absolutely hate black people with bleached hair, so in my mind this would be 100 times better if it was shot after he came to his senses.

 

[Perickles]

No. He is not handsome and that hair is disgusting.

 

[KoV]

I absolutely hate black people with bleached hair

Excuse you?

 

[aracic]

The man is gorgeous with and without bleached hair, period!

 

[mepps]

Excuse you?

I said what I said, and I meant it.
I'm as black as Odell, so I get to say it unchecked.

 

[Perickles]

I said what I said, and I meant it.
I'm as black as Odell, so I get to say it unchecked.

And they deleted your comment. I can't

It's a pity they no longer have fashion editorials with models like they used to (or maybe I am thinking of Details...)

Their counterparts like GQ Germany seems to have that though which is nice.

You are thinking of Details, which for me was the best monthly fashion magazine during its time.

Will Welch's GQ has been mostly a miss for me, and it's not because of their cover subjects, but the packaging of the magazine a whole. It feels to me like it's trying to be a younger Esquire that isn't as compelling.

I like the content that Will is bringing to the magazine. Even I have the audacity to say that even the styling is more qu**r youth friendly than ever and in some way, makes me wanna read the magazine for the first time in years.
