US Harper’s Bazaar September 2021 : Beyoncé by Campbell Addy

[mikel]

Only Dan Martensen’s ed is kinda interest. But overall everything looks so drab. A very lacklustre September offering.

Ok but… where are the icons?

How do they manage to shoot so many editorials yet none of them are even slightly interesting? All of them look dull and boring. Where’s the joyness of fashion? Where’s the glamour?

I’d be happy with even two editorials that look and feel LUXURIOUS instead of few editorials that all look cheaply produced. Maybe I’m asking for too much, but cmon…

This issue is the Icon Issue, singular. I guess icons left with Carine.

Such an unimpressive issue. Very boring all along…
Maybe the most interesting thing is Beyoncé’s interview.

To have Shalom for such a lackluster ed is an insult.

This is boring in a « Vogue UK under Schulman last year » kind of way…

Agree!!! But at least Schulman’s Vogue at least had some colour.

Nothing stands out lol it's all cheap and bad. NEXT!

Really bad issue. Nothing memorable at all, nothing even remotely decent. Maybe Dan Martensen's editorial isn't abominable, but it looks like a reject from WSJ at best! You would think a Hearst base publication would make the most of the ridiculous situation at CN and grab some of their top-tier talent who are no doubt entirely disillusioned by the "global" homogenisation over there (I would assume?), but no. I mean there are good new photographers and talents as well. How can you be woke when your content looks so dead? Why do trees have to be sacrificed for this? I think Samira should be forced to go and replant some in Turkey and Greece following the forest fires, given how she wasted so much paper for this issue.

Can't someone just have fun with fashion, use references again and commit to producing something worthy of effort? It can be done and go hand in hand with diversity and increased human decency!! Man I save so much money from literally never buying magazines in the last 5 - 6 years.

Oh and lastly, I don't want to see Elissa Santisi's name anymore unless it's preceded by the words "photographed by Raymond Meier" (yes, I said it).
