POP #50 S/S 2024

[Srdjan]

Pop is a nightmare of a magazine for me! I once bought it (ten years ago, back in 2014, Cat McNeil was on the cover).... it was just too big, too heavy.
I remember going though the hundreds of pages trying to absorb them into my perception, and getting mentally tired. Yes, everything was nice but it was overwhelming. I gave away my issue eventually.
I can't imagine having like 20 issues of Pop, that's 16.000 pages! God forbid you have to move out... I prefer my magazines having ~200 pages.

Also, I like the multicover concept in general, because you get to pick what the ones you like, but Pop always has too many covers, it feels uncontrollable.

i feel the same. it's eventually a burden, not a plus. i actually even hate browsing through these heavy mags at a newstand. i happily gave away my old POPs recently and now i only wonder what the magazine is even about. it screams "800+ pages" and "50th issue" and all i'm getting is superfluous content that's destined to be discarted, never to be truly appreciated in the first place.

I love exactly for the huge page count, it’s worth the money for me, here in Brazil Pop costs the same price of the panflet that is us Vogue

I agree. I usually find one or two really strong fashion editorials inside (the Gisele story looks promising) but the rest are fillers. The recent few covers posted here are already a preview of filler photography inside.

4 covers of this Jenner girl is too much...the last one was enough..

At this rate, if they keep going with the covers, we'll have seen the entire magazine.

and you get a cover and you get a cover and you get a cover renders a cover meaningless

This is giving me flashbacks of being in university and making the mistake of buying a TON of September / Fall issue before class... and having to carry around a heavy shopping bag from the bookstore, back when magazines were still bragging about page counts, around campus the entire day. It was a mistake I've learned from.
