The Official Men's Magazine Thread

He's a joke, waste of a cover

Fantastic cover, and he's a great athlete. I'm so glad they did something different, rather than their normal athelete in a suit or athleisure holding a ball.

October was also branded their 60th Anniversary but when the magazine started out it was Quarterly. Presumably, the first issue of the Magazine came out in the 4th quarter of 1957 and covered October, November, and December. So maybe they're commemorating the 60th Anniversary with those three issues.

I hate what they've done to the G and the Q.

 

[Benn98]

Oh God, these covers look ridicculous. Gal Gadot's Glamour pose, the guy with the afro who doesn't appear to have a neck? I only like Colbert's cover because it matches his quirk.

I wonder how US men's magazines will handle the continuous flow of sexual allegations levied at men they used to admire.....

 

[Bobby153]

I love Gals cover. The rest I could do without. That’s my favourite cover of hers so far.

Horrible. US GQ is the worst.

Horrible. US GQ is the worst.

US GQ is on a serious downslide.
Note: This is a December/January issue. I looked back through their archive and they haven't done a combined issue like that since 1979-1980.
And they can't blame this on the rise of digital-social media and loss of ad revenue. If their online sites were pulling in ad revenue it could prop up the print issue.
I haven't bought a GQ since I can't remember because it's nothing but a cheaper 'People' or 'Sport's Illustrated'.
They need to get away from the celebrity/athlete focus and back to a full life style magazine. Otherwise they'll fold up just like Details.

OMG, this magazine is dreadful

^^^ I know better than to pick on these beyond basic men's edits, but OMG I just can't with this one...

It’s hilarious that such a basic catalogue/flyer/agency test shoot with such cliche poses and discount department-store styling required a fashion editor, art director and stylist LMFAO+++

(Loving the doing #2 pose though LOOL)

Thanks Leonardo

UK GQ January/February 2018: Jeremy Corby by Marco Grob

GQ editor: Jeremy Corbyn photoshoot was 'torture'

The Labour leader was "pushed around like a grandpa" by his aides as he shot his cover photo for the latest magazine.

15:21, UK, Friday 01 December 2017
By Greg Heffer, Political Reporter

Jeremy Corbyn's cover shoot for GQ magazine was "quite torturous" and "as difficult as shooting any Hollywood celebrity", the publication's editor has claimed.

The Labour leader is the cover star of GQ's January/February edition, under the headline "Jeremy Corbyn's hostile takeover".

The 68-year-old joins other famous names such as Liam Gallagher, Alec Baldwin, Cara Delevingne and the Duke of Cambridge to feature on the front of the magazine in recent months.

Dylan Jones, who has edited GQ for the last 18 years, has since described the "very intriguing" process of navigating the Labour leader's key aides, including his press chief Seumas Milne.

"The actual shoot itself was quite torturous," he told the BBC's Radio 4 Today programme.

"It was as difficult as shooting any Hollywood celebrity.

"We've shot many politicians for our cover... but never have we encountered such a ring.

"Obviously Seumas Milne and his crew are very particular gate-keepers."

Mr Jones suggested the Labour leader's aides "didn't understand" that Mr Corbyn would need to be photographed, need to be "presentable" and "couldn't just turn up in his anorak".

"When he actually turned up for the shoot it was almost like he was being pushed around like a grandpa for the family Christmas photograph," he added.

"He wasn't particularly aware of what was going on. But we're very pleased with what we ended up with."

Despite GQ's reputation as a fashion bible for some, Mr Jones revealed the Labour leader was "adamant" he wouldn't wear anything other than a Marks & Spencer suit.

But Mr Jones, who has previously spoken of being a Tory voter and once wrote a biography of David Cameron, suggested there is an "air of authenticity" around Mr Corbyn.

In the magazine's interview with him, Mr Corbyn revealed he "wouldn't dream" of asking whether his top aide Mr Milne had voted for Brexit or not, despite the Labour leader campaigning for Remain.

He also said he would seek a relationship with Vladimir Putin if elected to Downing Street, despite being "strongly critical" of the Russian leader's human rights record.

The things people say in order to get their publication in the headlines....

You know what, I don’t hate it.

Have they ever done a double month issue before? Who got the other cover?

Better tell that to the Guardian before they run a 1000 word essay bemoaning the perils of the fashion industry!
