Why even nu-The Face exists? When it died it should have stayed dead, as pretty much most of people they want to target (zoomers) prefer i-D or Dazed, because they were only ones to survive the 2000s British publication crash and are recognizable. From my experience, majority of people I was selling some of my archival mags to wanted i-D and Dazed, not The Face.

Irina's shoot looks like poor mix of current average indie fashion mag aesthetic of now with attempt at sexy minimalism mixed with elements of Katie Grand's work for the magazine between late 1999 and 2001. I can see some elements the aesthetic she did when she moved to The Face and previously back in 1998 inklings of what she was about to do could be seen in AH+ S/S1998. This editiorial is middling, even slightly terrible, but the cover isn't as bad. Seems the revival of 2000s revival of 80s, in it's specific way is about to hit harder next year.

Cover by Klein is middling, even if I like his old work, but of whole bunch I like it the most. It just doesn't feel right to see 90s "realism" reheated in such literal way these times when the whole era is and was mined for visuals to revive without reinvention. Though I except more of it exactly as I feel it wasn't really that big thing yet? Like stuff done by Dazed or Sleazenation, even The Face will be mined even more to be literally copied. i-D's style at time was revived many times though to a point it's boring.
