Hooray for another publication showcasing the art of men’s fashion!
In the premiere Vogue Hommes Japan, (translated: Japan Men’s Vogue), the publication meshes the art and fashion aesthetic without boundaries. US Men’s Vogue lacks this blend and I’m actually baffled by their artistic reservations. Hopefully, the new publication will encourage exercised creative freedom. (Side note: VOGUE International editions always seem to win over American editions with more relevant fashion, arts, and creative elements.)
The cover shot by photographer Hedi Slimane (ex-designer of Dior Homme) rats out the goodies expected from the men’s glossy. I envision the issue to pack tons and tons of avant-garde elements with also functional and practical fashion rudiments. I’m hearing Kim Jones is a contributing Fashion Editor and stylist Nicola Formichetti have been doled the Fashion Director title.
I will have to have certain colleagues translate the pages but know I hanker the spreads more!
Vogue Hommes Japan is expected to hit newsstands and bookstores September 10th.
