ABOUT THAT OBSESSION MAGAZINE FEATURE…

Just wanted to post a little blurb from this New York Times Magazine article on Joseph Ghosn, the Editor and Chief of Le Nouvel Observateur’s Obsession Magazine, which, you may remember, Michael was featured in earlier this year.

It’s the covers of Obsession, a new French lifestyle/culture/fashion monthly magazine, that first lure the reader in. Each cover model is shot in rare form: intimately, unretouched and in a natural state. (On the most recent cover, a ladybug rests on Vanessa Paradis’s right cheek.) “We focus closely on the person’s face, as if we’re trying to get inside of them,” says the editor in chief, Joseph Ghosn. “We try to show these recognizable figures in different, unusual ways, and not how readers would necessarily expect.”

As the title implies, the magazine exposes and explores the obsessions, both public and private, of the cover models. For a story with the actor Michael Fassbender, who’s created a stir with his penchant for on-screen nudity, Obsession playfully shot what Ghosn calls “a backwards striptease.” The pictures show Fassbender in his natural state, gradually adding articles of clothing, until he’s fully dressed.
