A BIG NO… Really awful!
 
My favorite is Donald Glover's cover.


Squid Game it's so 2021... two years late GQ!. And it doesn't suit with this magazine. I find it more international Vogue material.

Let’s guess which magazine this was really meant for! No way in hell this was produced first for GQ.

The stylist is style director of British vogue, her work was never featured in us vogue.

gq is a lost magazine now, it’s worst than vogue
 
I just hope they don’t send subscribers the cover with the guy from Apple!

What is a “global creativity award” ?
 
What a mess of issue. I see more Vogue, Vanity Fair and Wired, not GQ at all. This is such a bad idea. Zero respect to GQ's identity.
 
American GQ may be a waste of paper, but China and Korea continue to shame their Western counterparts to no ends: Gorgeous, sleek, expensive worldbuilding, cinematic photography that balances creative and commercial so effortlessly to maintain the brand of luxury inspiration and aspirational dressing. It’s simply glorious fashion presentation. And that they're usually at an impressive 300+ pages an issue proves how financially healthy and stable they are with their advertisers.

…I have no words for how amateur, how sloppy and how insulting the HoYeon cover is… They’ve made her up and styled her to look like some modelmayhem-level of cosplay, with the aesthetic of deviantart realness circa 2008… WTF. The Yohji cover is solid-- although B&W would have been more to his branding and flattering visually overall. This oversaturation is on the gaudy, amateur side-- but that's very on brand with American GQ...

Correct. GQ Korea's March and April issues are hands down impeccable.
 
Glad that Korean GQ, as I know, isn't attached to the American edition as the rest. I saw the GQ Latam IG and they will release all these messy covers. Praying that mine will be Donald's. The rest it's far from what I expect from a meswear publication as GQ. Really insulting to pull the fashion off and publish these kind of contents. I want to get rid of Will Welch. Makes me miss the Jim Nelson bikini and not so famous jocks covers. Dan Peres was fired for not selling issues but making his work so great. CN makes me furious with their choices.
 
LOL Tim Cook for anything remotely resembling “creative” is a mockery to creatives. He is more the epitome of corporate greed. But CN needs to get as far up his a$$ as possible for that Apple money.

I’ve been a Mac user since 1998, and Steve Jobs would be rolling in his grave if he knew how much the quality of his brand has plummeted. And with Jonny gone, to boot— Apple's designs are anything but “creative”.
 


Global GQ’s also deleted the posts and pictures of Karol.
