W Volume #3 2018 : Tye Sheridan & Tiffany Haddish by Ethan James Green

Tye Sheridan is one of the most mediocre young actors to ever get shoved down my throat in recent memory. I don't get why Tonchi decided to put him on a cover, considering that Ready Player One isn't nearly as bonafide a hit as its hype initially suggested. He should've given the cover to John Krasinski or even Chadwick Boseman, considering the longevity of the Black Panther euphoria and the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War.

With regards to Tiffany, as much as I love her, I'll echo Phuel's sentiment that the direction of her cover and editorial comes off as rather gimmicky. With someone whose proposition or shtick is so identifiable, one must've gone with a 180 approach. I mean, if they could transform Tye into a ridiculous Nick Carter / AJ McLean hybrid on the first cover, they could've painted Tiffany in say, a more regal light.

Having said all of that, I can't believe Tonchi would say yes to that horrendous layout. It looks straight out of the late 90s, early 00s tacky teen, pop-culture magazine with a severe fascination for the incoming Millennium. Let's put an end to this whole "irony" non-sense.

Yet another victim of horribly executed 90s nostlagia redux.

Blast from the Past: See the Most '90s W Magazine Covers

Dear internet writers. Can we please stop posting secondary internet pictures, copying coverlines verbatim from captions then passing this off as somehow relevant or insightful fashion reporting?

How ironical is it that W magazine is mining secondary internet sources of their own archival content and then posting it on their website ? Those images look like eBay snaps most likely uploaded by TFS members. Not even diligently 'curated' from W's magnificent, invaluable archive. There's such a disconnet from the online content posters from the magazines themselves. W magazine staff could barely ID the models for their vintage covers. Or peruse the 90s archived vogue.com runway website for a good laugh and witness their cringe-worthy, limited knowledge of models from that era. I mean TFS members are committed to the point of collecting, or buying up then scanning their own magazines rather than mindlessly posting secondary uncited mystery sources.

Sadly these W covers so accurately and acutely reflect the current regurgitative, identity crisis plaguing the fashion/publication industry.

I resubscribed to this magazine just to give it a chance. What was I thinking? I read this issue and when I was done with it I threw it across the room. Garbage, absolute trash. It's so horrible and that is not an exaggeration. Who the hell is their reader now? I've read this magazine since 2007 and the change is night and day. Stefano made it more mainstream when he took over in 2010, but the content remained solid. Ever since Edward left and Anna took over as the Creative Director of Conde Nast this Magazine has taken a big hit. I'm very disappointed because for the longest time this was my favorite magazine. W was the premiere American High Fashion magazine and now it's some Millennial rag. I'd rather it close than continue like this.

I think they will shut down in the end of the year. Finally.

But I’m sad, because this magazine was so good before Stefano. Now is trash
