Wallpaper* September 2025 : Colin O by Melanie + Ramon

[Phuel]

By far one of Wallpaper’s best fashion issues in a long time. And by far far far, one of the best September issues out now. There’s a sterile, clinical, even cold Gattaca-world that this issue strides finely on: A rarefied, exclusive, innermost sanctuary where people walk on marble floors carpeted with mink, with diamonds on the soles of their shoes. And it’s all very Fabien’s Arena Homme Plus aesthetically. Unfortunate that the graphic design falls short of Fabien’s-- but everyone's always falls short of Fabien's.

Really good issue!

"In Fashion" by Antoine and Charlie is stunning and should have replaced "Wildside" by Nicole Maria Winkler which I find bland despite all the fur and patterns. The men's fashion editorial "Hell for Leather" by Melanie + Ramon I do like but it is too similar to the work of Mark Kean. In fact, I thought that it was Kean's work at first. It is definitely a good issue.
