Their weakest issue.

Ed’s shoot with David is horrendously basic; just a handle of sitting portraits. Zzzzzzzzz…

The rest of the fashion stories give me a vibe similar to lesser publications like DaMan and AugustMan. It's that bad.

Aww, I like August Man! And Esquire Singapore. I can only get it when I'm in HK and usually it's only two issues of each edition, I mean they are at least a notch above most international GQ editions. Especially Esquire Sg.

I thought it such a waste of money to book Bailey and someone as elusive as Norton, yet only run 5 images? I know it's probably more of a power flex, but I can't gather anything from the cover edit. No flow, nothing. Just looks very randomly assembled.

As for the rest of the content? Too much Laura Sciacovelli for my taste! Her aesthetic should at best be used as a filler and not as leading the tone. And then to make it worse they've decided to add the cool LA kid and Paul Sinclaire to the mix which makes the rest of the content just seem like a haze. Definitely a somewhat disappointing issue.
