Meh

Really, Dua Lipa for the resurrected cover of The Face? I wasn't expecting models, but at least someone more irreverent to fall in line with the cult of this magazine.

Dazed, Another and POP just heaved a sigh of relief.

They really shouldn't have brought The Face back. All of the editorial content seems too try-hard and forced.

So Dua Lipa's cover is the REAL winner of last week's cover challenge. It's just so HIDEOUS. With that said, Harry's cover is passable. It's a beautiful portrait of him.

I can't believe I'm seeing Dua Lipa on their first cover. I won't comment any further.

After all the excitement about The Face's comeback... we got the untalented Harry Styles and a boring person like Dua Lipa.

So random though. It really makes me wish that they shouldn’t resurrect the title.

 

[russianelf]

and the award for most boring relaunch goes to the face!

Wating yo see the Rosalía cover.

So you have countless print magazines giving up and running themselves into the ground because they believe every young person goes online instead...

...and then someone decides to bring The Face back from the dead and onto the newsstand, when it's probably best suited to exist as a digital publication, given the target audience and its history of slightly risque/experimental fashion editorials.

I love Dua Lipa's cover. Reminds me of Gummo, and I love this magazine. Badass aesthetic.

Do you like it because we hate it? ink:

Don't they know the cult around it was purely because it was dead? what a time to revive this.. when magazines couldn't be more irrelevant. Maybe this will help new generations move on from 90s nostalgia and the idea that these old publications knew any better and would have higher standards today, clearly they don't. Now I'm thinking that if Dutch came back, they'd feature Virgil and Lady Gaga, just these really cutting-edge figures of fashion as they did back then..

Pretty sure that's Louise Belcher!

LMAO! They brought back this once great magazine from the dead, and this is who they put on the cover, Dua Lipa??? I guess she's famous somewhere, but I still don't get her appeal. The Harry cover is a beautiful portrait of him, but I'm sure the editorial is pretentious and hideous, because Collie Schorr did it.

 

[aracic]

Not sure what we were expecting though. Pop as we knew it back in the day is dead, pop culture revoles around Kylie Jenner, Instagram and awful Youtubers and that's not The Face material. That's what we get in Paper, Dazed or some similar s*it magazine that's trying to do what Face used to do back then. What madeThe Face interesting is that era alone and they can't channel that same energy and iconic vibe with Dua Lipas and the likes of Harry Styles we have today. It just doesn't work in this new world cause pop stars today are... not stars. Everyone's just safe and boring, there's no groundbreaking talent and visionaires. Instead of iconic covers, we'll be getting Vanity Fair portraits of boring singers and mediocre designers, it's just not interesting. Such a shame they're ruining the memory of a once great magazine.

I really like Harry’s cover but Dua Lipa’s cover is odd...
