Of course bcs it’s styled by (c*ck)Roach

 

[JPineapple]

hey siri! play "i hate it here" by taylor swift please

 

[Simera]

I don’t care how bad the styling is.
The chest hair ❤️ Oh it’s so furry! Love it so I think this is amazing hahah ( even though it’s actually all 💩)

Ryan had to work, with what he had to work with.
Nothing about this basic white man is hot, or interesting. Much like his overrated girlfriend.

My first thought when opening this thread was "Damn this is who this untalented girl is f**king? Good luck to her!"

 

[Kimy Jo]

Wtf??

 

[Ribs666]

And my summer was going so well without an inescapable Taylor Swift album cycle or the dreaded Travis Kielce publicity

Looks like Aslan went full swamp chic here for Gerwig’s Narnia promo.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Well, it's about to be football season so he makes sense... I guess.

Honestly, I’m fine with this. I totally get the Crocodile Dundee nod and the shots are just radiating joy, something you barely see in mags these days. We grew up on magazines especially GQ where the guys were always clean-cut and suited up, so that’s the format we’re used to. The cover shots might not be the most flattering and feel more like a summer vibe than fall but I actually love that they took a risk and went playful. The inside pics? Amazing. Just a guy having a blast not overthinking it and that energy jumps right off the page. It’s fresh, it’s fun and it’s the kind of personality forward shoot that keeps the magazine feeling alive.

I don't know if this came as response of the criticism about Law posing with a crocodile (the picture looks the same as seen in this ed) before got killed to make luxury bag...

Again, this would have been hot and chic if it was made by Cortina. My favorite covers are the one styled by him, like no question. In the other hand I like he's not shaved like most of today's sport stars. Looks more real.

Gosh I've got second-hand embarrassment from it.
What a joke : it's crazy bad, amateur, tasteless.
Huge disappointment that Law styled this shoot.
Why is GQ so in love with these campy shoots?
I know the readership and visuals from the 70's
is NOT their taste and style now but wow do I
miss that era: nice looking and elegant men who
may look very beige and similar from one shoot to
the next but THIS is beyond vulgar and boring.
The GQ I remember was with men in suits and all
gorgeous clothes with simple backgrounds and lots
of watches and shoes, nowadays they just put crazy
clothes and unknown people and call it a day. NEXT!

He looks like a shower sponge that gives you bad rashes because the material is not suitable for human skin.

Even Cortina couldn't save this mess of a man.

From your profile picture, I can guess what you're talking about. But to be honest, if it weren't for her, he wouldn't be him.

Ryan McGinley, girl, you're better than this. Not a single successful photo in the bunch.

Is he really tho? His works strength relied on the rebellious youthful queer downtown underground artsy vibes and anytime they drag him out for stuff like this it’s always terrible because it doesn’t translate. Fashion has a huge problem with liking art photographers and then using them in hopes it will bring the same spark as their art. Very few can really do both successfully in a way that doesn’t feel hollow and translates well. With Ryan though, I fell he lost his spark in his work a LONG time ago overall. Some people just peak and shouldn’t ruin their overall great body of work trying to do things like this to stay relevant.

This cover and story are just silly.
