i just want to know what are ARMYs’ favorite editorials/brand collections/magazine covers fronted by our boys? it can be the overall look, styling choices, visual story, creative choices etc. and why, i’ll start with a few of mine:

**RM for Dazed Korea Oct 2023 styled by Kim Youngjin (Bottega Veneta)** \- tbh my fav for RM x Bottega is a tossup between his shoot for Vogue Korea in June 2023 and this one but honestly, the diversion from Bottega Veneta’s sleek and dapper branding is what made it for me. i can’t properly verbalize it, but Bottega campaigns are usually presented in a certain way so it’s nice to see how Dazed Korea had fun with this by really going heavy on the effects. also, can we talk about pairing silver dad shoes (can’t exactly pinpoint if they’re purely designer shoes or something sporty like asics shoes???) with the suit? absolutely drooling over the visual contrast.

**Jimin for GQ Korea Nov 2023 styled by Kim Youngjin (Dior)** \- anyone get reminded of Prince Nicholas Devereux (Chris Pine) from *The Princess Diaries 2*? everything here just ties together really well and obviously jimin carries the collection nicely that i kind of forget how tired i am of Dior’s silhouettes lately. (that’s my own opinion; i haven’t been impressed with it because it feels so regurgitated—thoughts for another subreddit lmao)

**V for Harper’s Bazaar Korea Feb 2024 styled by Kim Yejin (CELINE)** \- i’ve seen many people like the cover with the duo-toned wig more, but i think this is just so creatively *smart.* the editorial team behind Harper’s Bazaar Korea definitely risked covering taehyung’s eyes, moreso putting the shot on the cover bcs they’re his most striking and identifiable features. who would want to pick up a cover without taehyung’s eyes very visible? but it paid off so well? so enigmatic, so mysterious but everyone damn knows it’s taehyung—automatically a favorite.

**J-Hope for Esquire Korea August 2023 styled by Kim Youngjin (Louis Vuitton)** \- this is the photoshoot that solidified hobi’s power for me. even if the silhouettes are oversized, hobi isn’t exactly buried by the fabric—he’s become an even bigger figure. plus the subtle shapes his body makes when posing? [photographing a dancer](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu3esBspOf5/?img_index=6) makes all the difference! i actually haven’t caught up if he’s already wearing Pharrell-era LV but honestly, no better person to wear the new menswear collection than hobi. (definitely just discussing Pharrell’s work in a fashion vacuum, but it is in no way a show of my support of his politics).

context, i’m a HUGE fashion girly and i also covered a lot of fashion when i was working as a magazine writer so this is a hobby of mine

honestly, these are just a few of my own faves but definitely not an exhaustive list\~ i do have a lot more in mind and would love to talk to you guys about it 💜
