Numéro September 2025 : Viktoria Wirs by Thomas Hauser

[Phuel]

Thomas’ coverstory, Marc’s “Les Insoumis” and Elie’s “L’intrépide” with their sparse, simple, straightforward mastery of light, texture and mood— a reminder of early-2000s Steven Klein when he was great, and the touch-grass rawness of Carter Smith, are the most visually striking shoots. No bloated production, clown and carnival costumes, and cringey theatrics required. 276 pages.

Txema is amazing as usual… But Numéro covers are always THE SAME!

 

[MModa]

I love the cover and the YSL total look. In terms of the fashion editorials, it is a lot to take in at once but "L'affranchie" by Thomas Hauser looks like it is my favorite from the issue. I love the styling and vintage look and feel.

The Brigitte Niedermair cover is great. It reminds me of the Solve Sundsbo cover with Kate years ago.

Numero needs a new Art Director tbh.
The covers, through their relative minimalism have remained timeless but inside the magazine, it really needs a new dose of energy.

 

[Kanzai]

Big W for Numéro!

 

[Simera]

I like Viktoria and her elfish features!

 

[penny609]

Interesting even if it does not bring anything remotely new to the table. Well, it's been this way with Numéro for a long, long while already.

That said, a lot of great stuff, visually speaking. And I cannot get my eyes off anything by Koto Bolofo, even if this is probably not his strongest series ever.

Still, miles ahead or at least miles above a lot of other magazines' contents. And with a decent amount of decent editorials for a September issue.

 

[Avonlea]

It's all solid, but very predictable. She should shake things up, maybe try a photographer with completely different aesthetic. Les insoumis and bandolera are very good.
