Love their summer covers!

The layout is terrible but the covers are great.

Simple but effective.

 

[Toni Ahlgren]

Love it, I thought she'd already be gone. The layout however is like me doing the Cover Challenge.

@Zorka I count on you for the editorials! 😘

Your layouts are much, much better.

I love this photographer, Purienne.
He understands sex, and the male gaze.
I can appreciate that, even tho I'm gay.

that`s so boring even Purienne and Rebecca (who`s doing same old film last 15 years) i normally collect him but since 2024 all this beach - body - warm yellow colors - sea- sun theme bored to the point of grinding teeth, and that layout kills the story. but at least thats better than vogue france. Lennon Sorrenti is daugther of Vanina Sorrenti (Mario`s sister and also photographer) and Cedric Buchet (he is also photographer but doesn`t work much thewse days.

I have to agree with most of your words. While it's hard for me not to like any picture involving Rebecca and while Purienne is no bad photographer (when it comes to skills, because frankly speaking his inspirations are pretty limited, these days more than ever before), this cover-story is terribly underwhelming, déjà-vu and, at the end of the day, forgettable and forgotten.

Did not know Vanina and Cédric once had a date, let alone they had a kid together that seems to try herself at modeling now. Used to like quite a good few photographs or even stories from both Vanina Sorrenti and Cédric Buchet but lost track for a little while already, got to refresh my memories during my free time...

Mathilda's story is my favorite, by miles and miles. Not a bad issue and I would lie saying I won't be happy once it hits my letterbox, but could have been quite better (by HB France standards).

Is it just me or is the Anthony Seklaoui story very wannabe Hans Feurer?

If indeed his goal was to take his inspiration from Hans Feurer, then indeed the right word is exactly : wannabe. And that's basically why it's my least favorite story from this issue.

I wish they had shown more of Hydra.
