When I read Mario's name I had high expectations, because I think he is one of the most underrated photographers for the incredible work he has... But the covers were not up to what I was expecting. I hope the editorials are good!

Awar’s is the only cover that matters. France Bazaar has been on a winning streak since their inaugural issue. The B&W with the sienna undertones really brings out an understated, melancholic mood to a summer issue. Wished that brand of high-end sensuality was also brought to Jill’s— instead of the summer sale in-house billboard direction.

The first cover is fabulous but I feel a lack of confidence or vision in those various multi covers issues after issues.
Because the POV isn’t fresh, I feel like they feels the need to cater to everybody. I don’t think it makes the title desirable…

Sharing the feeling. The first one is enough, stands out.

flipped it through, its so insanely boring despite sorrenti presense. I can`t even name any cover i like out of 4. they`re so basic and lazy.

super long main ed
jonathan frantini with Beauise Ferwerda
and another boring paparazzi kind of editorial by Virginie benarroch with some young photographer

AND TO THINK that I was soooooo excited yearssss ago when I heard French Bazaar would be created but I haven't liked a single cover.
It all looks fan made and cheap ones at that.
NEXT !

They really didn't need the other three, not only they're awful (the styling of the second one , Eva's April 2020/DIY shot), it just takes attention away from that majestic shot. Awar's cover is soo Gisele in that Missoni Spring 2002 campaign in my eyes.. all about skin in full glory and that commanding presence like you own the sun and not like you just spent 10 months with tragic weather and are being basically an annoying sun tourist lol.. but the b&w does make it less exuberant than that Missoni campaign and more romantic.. the more soothing effect you'd get from Koto Bolofo's work.

Vogue FR and IT defecting to Wintour really left a void and a unique opportunity for other magazines to rise to the occasion and respond to the needs and wishes of many fashion enthusiasts, if only they also appropriated the confidence of Vogue and fully trusted their own decision on one single, powerful image and stop with the multiple covers that reek of desperation, they would really do themselves and the people who still believe in fashion imagery, a huge favor.

What did they do to Eva…?

 

[Ribs666]

Multiple covers were not needed for this issue— can’t wait to see Awar’s in print! Stunning

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Is this magazine oversized? The text in the cover looks very small.

 

[Gonzalo]

Awar is majestic and graceful .

I love Awar's cover...amazing shot.

For me the problem is that French aesthetic is really stuck. Bazaar FR is very generic tbh. It’s generic but with great names and budget…
I’ve never expected something great regarding the talents involved.

Taking risks for me is about mixing talents. All I see is the same people doing basically the same thing with another title.

I have to admit that I’m much more excited about reading old issues of magazines than opening a new one. Covers are one thing. Content is another…
What’s the purpose, what’s the message beyond « we have to please advertisers »?

For me this new Bazaar is pure firecrackers.

 

[Bernie Flood]

Can someone pls tell French Bazaar to just emulate the Vogue Paris under JJBuck and Carine’s aesthetic?!
Thanks!

 

[GivenchyAddict]

^You can't emulate anything when someone as bland as Frand Durand is involved in it...

Very cliquish, only people with the same aesthetic, no one to challenge each other. It is a nice magazine. It definitely does not intimidate the other publications though.
