L'Uomo Vogue - July/August 2015
Justin Biebier by Francesco Carrozzini

I don't like Bieber, that's for sure, but I can't say I completely dislike this cover, or Franca Sozzani's decision to put him on the cover. I'd rather see him on the cover than people like Kim Kardashian, Madonna or Nicki Minaj. (I think Franca sometimes uses L'Uomo as a substitute for Vogue, featuring celebrities she'd never put on the cover of Vogue, but wants to keep on her good side).

I'm glad they are doing more "Young" issues and chosing more relevant young talents (Eddie Redmayner, Xavier Dolan, Dane DeHaan) rather than doing thematic issues.

Now L'Uomo just needs a new graphic designer and Franca Sozzani to get over the idea that male models are not real people.

Are you high? This cover is hideous. He looks bloated, and those face he pulls are cringeworthy. I don't understand why the fashion world are using him so much. He has no redeeming qualities, he's not even liked by most people! He's known for being an absolute trainwreck with the things he says and does.

Everyone needs to stop trying to make him happen in HF. This is exactly an example of older people in the fashion industry using what they THINK is hot with the young people, so they can feel young. The use of JB is clear they don't actually understand that young people don't like him.

What self-respecting man who buys L'uomo Vogue is thinking "Oh hey, Justin Bieber is on the cover! Wow great, he looks amazing, i love his music and image - so much i want to invest in this cover!". None.

Also, models should only do these covers. But I'd MUCH rather see Madonna or Nicki over this guy!

^^^ Absolutely.

I may not care for M, Kim and Nicki on the covers of fashion magazines, but at least they genuinely enjoy fashion. This guy is just a huge douche with the kind of looks that's dime a dozen in gay p*rn, and his 15 minutes already dried up. I don't know if the tweens that adore him even acknowledge him anymore, but I know guys definitely never have. And no way would I ever buy L'UOMO with him on the cover in the cheapest Sears poses. Still a swine in pearls to me...

I guess his people are trying to pull off another Marky Mark; another giant douche whose "musical" gimmick ran out quickly so they were pimping his body in CK underwear, and that somehow lead him to become a movie star.

I sense a pattern here...

 

[Cosmic Voices]

Is that Bieber cover not fan made....

 

[nightclubbing]

He has been photographed better, this is a mess.

 

[GlamorousBoy]

lol he really does not look like himself and in a bad way - is it even possible ?

You guyssssssssss I wanted to share a great news with our fashion community... I have just shot Brazilian supermodel Henrique Hansmann today for my magazine Cool Korea!!! It´s been one of the most thrilling experiences in my life: to work with a bonafide supermodel and have one of his agencies´support and my team was there and he was truly charismatic and fun and so eloquent.

I rarely say that and yeah it may sounds corny but of all the male models in the world, few have the x factor for becoming supermodels, we like them or something about them but some of them miss that magic element and this guy has it. He has the body, the height, face, knowledge, potential and is very polite and cool. Today has been a real treat to have him sincerely. As editor-in-chief of my own magazine and photographer, I feel very thankful and blessed to have worked with him. Keep checking the mag for the future editorial of this male supermodel )

Justin Bieber looks exactly like some female character from Shakespeare play with false moustache!

GQ USA July 2015
'Most Stylish Men Alive' { multi cover issue}

Who Made GQ's List of the 20 Most Stylish Men Alive?
by Will Welch

So here they are: The twenty most stylish men alive.

Ryan Gosling
Pharrell
Jeff Goldblum
Jared Leto
Bradley Cooper
LeBron James
A$AP Rocky
Jay Z
Brad Pitt
Harry Styles
Daniel Craig

Mark Ronson
Mario Balotelli
Eddie Redmayne

How We Picked the Most Stylish Men Alive
by Will Welch
It started with an email. A few of us at GQ brainstormed a list of guys whose style we'd like to steal, and we sent it around the office. The debate kicked in immediately, and it raged on in long email threads, at meetings, over lunch, in the hallways, in the fashion closet, in taxi cabs, and at parties, shows, and bars.

Early on, we hammered out some simple ground-rules: No fashion professionals. (Sorry, Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, and Riccardo Tisci.) And nobody whose street-style fame has eclipsed his fame for his main line of work. (Justin Theroux and Joe Jonas, you are DQ'd. At least for 2015.) Also, we decided to analyze the nominees, wherever possible, not based on what they wore to events and red carpets, but based on something much realer: Their street style.

The conversation was a free-for-all: Has George Clooney's style evolved? Is Nick Young ready for prime time? Does anybody from Silicon Valley belong on this list? Has anyone ever seen Eddie Redmayne not wearing a suit, and if so what does that look like? What do we make of Shia LaBeouf? (Hint: Rat tail, bad. Military boots, good.) What about President Obama? Is Channing Tatum's off-duty-male-stripper swag underrated? Is Justin Timberlake overrated? Has anybody crazy-stylish emerged from the art world since Dash Snow passed? Can we just skip the whole project and run twenty photos of Rihanna wearing bikinis instead? And who the hell is Mario Balotelli, anyway?

That kind of thing.

(FWIW: George Clooney may be an icon of manliness to those of us who were born before 1985, but nobody under the age of thirty seems to think of him as particularly stylish. Interesting.)

From there, we got methodical: We whittled the master list of a couple hundred down to 30 guys, at which point the GQ photo department, lead by photo director Krista Prestek and photo editor Jolanta Bielat, took over. The team spent countless hours pulling scores of photos—pretty much every look each nominee has been caught wearing in the last few years. There were moving boxes full of research files, long editing sessions spearheaded by creative director Jim Moore and design director Fred Woodward, and still more debate that centered around the question: Who truly has unique, effortless, deeply-ingrained personal style that we all can learn from?

Then, finally—based on the often-undeniable tale that the photo research told—we sat down with editor-in-chief Jim Nelson and made the final cuts.

Is our list subjective? Of course. Is it deeply researched, thoroughly argued, and soundly reasoned? Absolutely. And what do we say to anyone who disagrees with our picks?

Bring it on.

COME ON are they kidding us?? The list is indeed overrated and those people have a style which has remained the same over the years and they took paparazzi shots instead of shooting and booking these celebrities?? Way to go GQ, lol that´s one way to reduce the costs. It looks bad and cheap.

And what´s with the 2 red dots already? Are they trying to copy French Vogue? The list is ok-ish but not interesting at all and it´s always the same crop of people year after year.

 

[SpeakThatJDunn]

They look like covers a graphic design student has to produce for homework.

 

[KoV]

The Jay-Z cover is laughable. You put him on the cover, proclaiming him one of the 20 most stylish men around, and he's wearing an oversize, slovenly looking polo and short?

I think Pharrell's cover works. Ryan's kind of does as well. I hope I get one of those two.

Did GQ blow their budget on the anniversary party in Milan and that's why they have to resort to stock paparazzi pics?

 

[dfl-001]

I can't believe they chose such cheap paparazzi photos.
And July being a generally slow month to move magazines on the newsstand, doing a faux 'collectors' issue with multiple covers is pretty shatty[sic].

 

[IndigoHomme]

Horrible

 

[GlamorousBoy]

horrendous

 

[KateTheGreatest]

Using papparazzi photos as covers? really? this is awful and lazy at best.
