The problem with Numero is that it became a victim of it success in the industry. So somehow, the magazine is even more niche than before and had kinda becomes a wonderful business card for Babeth, her talents and the owner.
Babeth has a vision, an eye for photographers and while her magazine at the beginning wasn’t necessary different from what Carine tried to do with CRFB or even Katie tried to do with LOVE, in the sense that it was a vanity project done with friends, her love for fashion and photography triumphed and it was really audacious.
But ultimately, all the talents she discovered or showcased first (M&M, Akrans, Kadel, Sundsbo...etc) became household names and suddenly, the Numero aesthetic became diluted a bit everywhere.
But I think we should really applaud her for keeping her standards. Numéro is still about great models, good photography and it’s still one of that counts for people in fashion.
But I wish she would go back to the formula of the early days sometimes...mixing old generation with new generation. Very big superstars models...
The problem is that it sounds very nostalgic and not exciting at all after all...
