Oh this looks nice. But their covers are almost always black and white..

This looks delicious; it's a very attractive shot of Idris who is incredibly handsome anyway. Looking forward to the spread!

 

[Velasco]

What a delightful surprise to see Idris Elba! Love this!

 

[Phuel]

Thanks Melancholybaby.

Idris is so much more handsome than this.

Had this been in vivid living color, with a torso shot that's tightly cropped-- because this man has a gorgeous body, that would have such a powerful impact.

The name really intrigued me when I saw the title, he's not overused in fashion. But I'm really not mad about this, it's too stoic for my taste. Elba's got a stunning smile, why not give us that instead since we are already familiar with his serious side?

I love this though less photoshop would have been better. That said, when I read it was by McDean I was expecting something colorful... I would have prefered that.

Strong cover.

 

[happycanadian]

Goddamn he's a sexy man. In LOVE with this.

 

[Marc10]

I think it's the definition of a boring cover. I wouldn't even notice it in the shelves.

 

[mikose]

Love it.

 

[mistress_f]

Nice, n'it

My oh my. He is more handsome than the cover shot, and the looking-to-the-horizon face is boring, but the inside photos are great. The one with the suit and tie... come on. No one is Bond-er than that

 

[kokobombon]

It´s a nice editorial but feels kinda boring to me, they could have done better.

What is he promoting btw? Star Trek? I just now noticed the tag.

 

[Fiercification]

Fine. I've seen better but it's solid and classic. Sometimes I think I'm getting bored of the McDean/Templer combination but actually it's pretty faultless (what Templer and Baron said about a good team being paramount to good work is very true!)

I just want to know the psychology behind Craig rallying behind a lot of black celebrities but we see very few black models in his fashion work (for Interview for example)...

 

[tigerrouge]

Clothes on or clothes off, it's all good.

 

[ellastica]

the cover looks like a zoomed in generic underwear ad. lame.

the editorial is nicely done though!

The shot of Idris super laidback in the chair but not so tightly cropped would've made a striking cover!

Very Denzel shot by Herb Ritts for 90s Interview. Still remember being drawn to this cover at the checkout stand as a 5 year old!

One of the most iconic, gorgeous Interview covers of the 90s. NOW that's Interview at it's pinnacle in both content and visual excellence which hasn't been touched since.

Jesus christ!!! He is so freaking good looking! (And talented. I can't wait for The Dark Tower next year.) Idris needs to be everywhere at all times. XD
