Lindbergh x Numero is always a snoozefest cover-wise.

 

[MON]

Everyone's criticizing VP (albeit validly), bu thid magazine deserves condemnation too. Numero's quality and creativity went downhill over the years

 

[Lola701]

The only thing that I like about it is the fact that Chanel is on the cover...
Other than that. This is a non-event.
I don’t know what’s going on at Numero...

The magazine was such a rich place for young talents. Now we only got Lindbergh or Mondino...
I hate to be that person but their work deserve to be on the magazine nowadays...And never on the covers.

 

[Srdjan]

Birgit actually looks gorgeous and the styling is nice. However, this black-and-white heaviness and the fact that the model is not dominating the image makes it all together so depressing.

 

[Benn98]

Arp really ruined this look by shooting it so soon, now it just seems meh to me.
But it's Lindbergh and there will probably be a lengthy edit inside, so I'll be looking forward to that.

 

[Perickles]

I love this cover. Very simple, she looks beautiful. I just don't like that hat.

 

[MagFan]

Lindbergh's ed is 18 pgs long - nothing new we haven't seen before.
Juliane Gruner and Stella Lucia are in other eds

I actually like the cover... These days I’d rather settle for boring than countless and hopeless attempts at being original that usually transforms into pretentious bs.

 

[Mercury6181]

I like it. It’s a little bit boring and it’s kind of an odd coincidence that she’s wearing the same Chanel outfit as Vogue Germany but I really like Birgit and this shot. It’d be cool if the text was a different color I love b&w covers like that. However it’s better than all the magazines trying to do weird concepts.

Lindbergh x Numero is always a snoozefest cover-wise.

It has indeed become incredibly redundant, and not to mention this looks just like an outtake from the recent Vogue Germany shoot remembering Karl Lagerfeld. A flat and uneventful cover for a September issue, but I am not at all surprised coming from Numéro (which hasn't been the same for years).

This was published just two months ago (also a cover, but in color). It's way too soon for Lindbergh to shoot the same model in same outfit in pretty much the same setting and mood. It's his classic work and of course it's all pretty but come on now, this is just lazy.

If this cover story was shot separately from that one, I imagine all parties involved had a serious feeling of deja vu lol.

 

[MagFan]

Lindbergh is a photographer right? So why of a sudden he is the one to blame for clothes picked by stylist - Babeth Djian herself
At least he isn't blamed for bad hair this time, like in US Vogue july thread. That was even more ridiculous

It is even a different suit btw

To be fair, a hair stylist is one of the first hires a photographer will make because they're extremely crucial to the story. Some downright refuses to work with anyone other than their preferred stylists. It's the reason why Luigi does the hair on 95% of the duo's shoots - they have a shared vision.

Isabelle Huppert, JBM & Nouvelle Vague music. Out of the box content Numero!

Best September issue.

So La Parisienne, and just so achingly romantic, melancholic, and full of that Doisneau, Brassaï mood. The B&W for most of the stories, and the dusty tones of the series in color are so thick with tone and mood.

Peter’s La Parisienne story with Birgit and styled by Babeth is one of his most alluring, enchanting, and impossibly romantic shoots— and his strongest of the decade. Birgit channels the spirit of a young Sophia Loren and every single shot is just a dream and lush. Then Katja’s La Couture is what Collier’s shoots with Stephanie and Claudia wishes it could have been; Full of strong compositions, relaxed, clever and elegant attitude. The dream doesn’t stop here— Pont Bir-Hakeim by Marco van Rijt casts a gorgeous couple and it’s so regal, soulful and easygoing. There’re 4 more stories, and they’re solid.

It’s such a strong, timeless Parisian mood and so sharply directional.

Love Birgit, and she looks stunning as always. It is a boring shot though.
