Esquire Attempts To Squeeze Some Art Out Of Its Covers

Esquire Magazine, in a brazen attempt to still seem relevant in todays world of dotcom fashion, decided to celebrate their 75th Anniversary by recreating some of their “iconic” covers created by long time art director George Lois. Most of the photos are pretty poor attempts at recreation and most of the newer images are just too different from the originals. I can appreciate the Vivienne Westwood shot, which corresponds to an anti-war cover for the magazine that featured the 100th murdered Vietnam solider. Aside from that the connections seem strained.

The photos were on display in Milan. Some people came for the free drinks.

Christopher Bailey plays the perfect kid.

Donatella the Saint? I think this might be a joke, but hell their noses match perfectly.
