Special issue with 1000 pages! The cover was styled by Karl Templer. I think it's a fold-out.

I remember this issue.

I didn’t buy it because I didn’t want to carry it around all day in school. I’m reminded just how regretful I feel for not picking it up back then. So tempted now— especially with L’UOMO folding by the end of the year. It’s a piece of high fashion history.

It’s such a strong presentation of male beauty and high fashion dreambuilding. So inspiration, and motivating to work harder on your body LOL

Nowadays, the standards of male beauty has plunged to an all-time low. Of course it's great to see more diversity, both racially and in body types. But the standard of beauty, has clearly been lowered than ever before to appeal to as many kidz as possible, it seems. And for that, no wonder these kidz aren’t motivated or inspired to be better than what they are... sigh...

So true, that´s why it saddens me to only see Instagramers and this new gen of kids in magazines/runways/ad campaigns instead of REAL strong, tall, muscular, skillful fashion male models.

^^^ A hard worked masculine body will always be appreciated LOL

Personal preference aside, I don't think classically handsome men is the only option of course. Look at the popular male aesthetic of the late-60s and late-70s for example: There was a preference for a younger, even androgynous male presence, with a leaner body and longer hair. But they still had a strong sexual magnetism to them in the way they were shot. These days, all the bland-looking pubescent boys are shot with flat-lighting and their blank stares looking so neutered. Creatively— or lack there of, the high fashion aesthetic of this decade in general is the weakest when we look back on it.

The mid-90s to the late-2000s were the most creative, daring, unapologetically sexual presentation of high fashion to date; referencing the best of the looks of 1950s, 1960s and 1970s in the most modern manner without ever coming across retro. It really was a time when that magical mixture of premium beauty, unleashed creativity in design and presentation all came together so gloriously with strong photographers. This generation of photographers are simply weak in creativity.

Oddly enough, I’m really appreciating how Giampaolo is capturing men on film. There’s this timeless smoulder, and always strong masculinity to the way he shoots men. I take back what I’ve posted about him in terms him lacking any skills and talent. I don’t think he’s up there with the greatest nor do I like him, and he’s still awful when he shoots women, since there’s such a disconnect, even disdain, with absolutely no passion, just all cold mechanics in his images of women. But his shots of men are… classically gorgeous.
