Men's Vogue March 2008 : Viggo Mortensen by Norman Jean Roy

[b&bofbalenciaga]

does anybody know about l'uomo vogue spring08 and vogue hommes internatonal spring08?

[espritDEcouture]

Well, as long as the mother of them all (reg. Vogue) remains static, we can't expect a dash of innovation anytime soon.

...Not that I mind Viggo. I love that man.

Couldn't agree more.
Men's Vogue is probably the most pointless magazine I know. It doesn't have a target, an audience, an interest, nothing! A male version of Vogue should be the bible of men's fashion, with male models, menswear and such. There's no point in trying to sell it to the straight because they just don't care, and by trying so hard they're loosing even the men interested in fashion, because there's just no fashion in it. If it was about fashion it would at least sell among gays, straight into fashion and women into the world of fashion. That's a niche, and being specific sells more.
L'Uomo Vogue has been brave at some points in being not so straight friendly (hello Chad White by Steve Klein), but it's also filled with writing and more writing about people and stuff we couldn't care less (hello Vogue Sports)
Is it so hard to get a guy, put some clothes on and shoot? Seriously, there are thousands of talented people out there who would do it even for free...
And if you wanna fill the mag with talking, get some of the fun and exciting bloggers out there and maybe I'll read it.

Hmm... I've never picked up a Men's Vogue, probably because I'm a girl... but VIGGO IS HOT!

Terrible Cover...I like Viggo, but he looks terrible there.

I got the impression that this magazine is aimed at the type of man whose brand recognition of the word "Vogue" doesn't go any deeper than equating it to an affluent lifestyle populated with expensive products.

You know, that it's aimed at a readership that prides themselves on being rich, conservative - and heterosexual. People who would be scared at the sight of top male models populating the pages, for fear of what response it might provoke in them. Or what others would think of them, for having such a magazine in their possession.

i have to agree
sometimes when im pissed at anna, i wonder if there can be a worse edition of vogue , but there can obviously be!
there is such a deep contrast between, mens vogue and luomo vogue!

i wonder how few little copies mens vogue actually sells
