Elliot Page Appears on New York Magazine Style Cover

Elliot Page appears on a cover of New York Magazine’s first standalone issue devoted to men’s style, a special edition that pairs fashion coverage with features on health, personalities and culture. The cover and a bathhouse-themed feature featuring Page and other men have prompted sharply divided reactions in online comments, though the available reports do not establish how representative those responses are. The issue marks the magazine’s first special edition focused entirely on men’s style, after decades of covering men’s fashion in its regular publication. Its concept extends beyond conventional fashion photography: the edition includes images of several figures in a bathhouse setting, with Page featured shirtless on one cover. Other figures included in the coverage are Christopher Abbott, Mike Faist and Troye Sivan. The cover drew criticism from some social media users, who questioned the image’s composition, styling and choice for a prominent feature. Some described Page as appearing uncomfortable or argued that the photograph was unflattering.
