Numéro #251 February 2025 : Yseult by Jean-Baptiste Mondino

I've always liked Numéro, but lately the covers have become quite repetitive and some editorials inside are always better than the cover!
 
A directive to have her turn her opposing shoulder closer to the camera would've been helpful; there's an angularity that reads oddly with this type of composition. I love this quality of B&W and the hair I don't mind. Glam hit in the right ways.

Excited to see the main editorial for this cover shoot. Happy to see her on the cover.
 
Ugly hairstyle...hopefully there will be more covers...

The other cover is a model in a SL suit, shot by Yulia Gorbachenko.

After the superior Dec/Jan retrospective issue that reminded everyone how great Numero France can be, this issue is n absolute letdown. It's very ragtag late-2000s sensibility with the noir fashion alien of the Rick Owens and Gareth Pugh kind, and indie desktop publisher aesthetic. There’s a decent story set on the streets of Paris by Boris Camaca but unfortunately the exaggerated modelling and thumbnail layout ruins an otherwise stylish shoot. And a cute story by Szilvester Mako with models as illustrations if that’s your thing, but it’s annoying to me. The other stories are just too dated and desktop publishing for my preference.
