Flipped through this issue and there’s nothing that stands out— every story just blurs into the next… the cast of models are a bunch of skinny thinks in oversized crap; Their signature profiles on prominent individuals lack the usual charm and flair; If I had to choose s standout story, I’d say the DSquared advertorial is the best, and it’s really not even shot well with the bland grey seamless— just kooky and at least the model is handsome… The Javier story is bland as hell.
I wanted them to go all out with these last remaining issues like an atomic bomb if this is to come to an end in December, especially with a September issue. But it’s more conforming to the bland trends of the moment than standing out. Maybe they’re hoping that the conformity will revive the magazine?????
I will remain loyal to them to the end.
