Cover-Boy Mesut Graces The Cover of "Sepp Football Fashion" In Black & White
And a Look At Some of His Other Covers, Photo-spreads & Ads

LINK TO THE SOURCE

Quite a stunning photograph. Quite possibly the best cover he's ever done.

Of course it isn't the first time Mesut has posed for the cover of magazines, or for spreads inside them -





Strenesse, May 2010



Published in this book



Mesut - on the extreme left, hiding behind a guitar.










Mann!/XL Semanal, October 2010





This Spanish cover was a re-print of an earlier German photoshoot
(below) in Mann! Magazine.

It contained an interview in which Mesut said that his nickname
at Madrid was "Ozi, without the umlaut."

My favorite is the Nike shoot!

And that cover is gorgeous!

So I googled this magazine since I'd never heard of it--I guess it's pretty high-fashion? Very interesting, and I'd guess a pretty big deal to be on the cover of a magazine that comes out once every 2 years. So you were right to be convinced of his suitability for haute couture, it seems XD

Top, top, top model material bb

Everything about his face - his small curving mouth; his nose (which is long and actually crooked on his right side), his strange, sloping, crinkly ears; his feathery eye-brows; his large heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes; his moles, his bizarre complexion - it all screams top model!

Tyra Banks would go wild over him! He'd break down in tears telling her that his friends used to twit him by calling him "Besugo" and she'd say "but you're gorgeous!" and they would hug!

Oh, my. That new cover is breathtaking.

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

It's just beautiful. He is utterly beautiful.

[lovinthelads.livejournal.com]

don't make me pick a Mesut! IT'S JUST MEAN!!!

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

I love all the Mesutses too.

One of my favourite Mesuts is in your icon, as it happens.

From the tips of his crinkly ears, to the shadow of his famous nose on his pursed, half-smiling mouth - it's perfect!

Have I told you that we're going to have an icon post?

Oh yes! sashatwen is going to make it!

[lovinthelads.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the crinkly nosed Mesut!

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

Who is the character in Star Trek you're modelling him on - with that nose and a bit of a feisty temper?

That off-white shirt - even if he is side-on to the camera! Why, oh why, does he not wear shirts, colours like that more often, he looks amazing!

I tend to prefer "moving Mesut" over "still frame Mesut" which is why the Nike ad with Lira will forever be my favorite. Like every other major event in history, I will never forget where I was when I first saw it.

And although I wasn't thrilled with the photoshopped pics from the GQ ad, the gifs that came from the shoot were straight from heaven. The gifs that keep on giving!

But this new one is truly beautiful.

I can't decided between the b/w one with the hat -a world with more men who wore hats would be a better world!!- and the one with the yellow coat/greens socks and sulky stare...hmmmmmm.

[caivallon.livejournal.com]

ui...definitly the first one... he looks so cool, easy-going... he could be a member of the Arctic Monkeys ^_^ I love the pose. Looks like a random shot on the streets, but actually it's perfect

[sashatwen.livejournal.com]

Oh! This lovely boy!

I've always loved his profile. It emanates a certain melancholy I find very attractive.

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

Have I mentioned you're making me an icon post ?

:P

[openmoments.livejournal.com]

That Nike video is just hnnnnngh inducing to me.

I love to lol at that yellow/green outfit he's wearing. He's trying so hard too!

The photoshopping hazard one confuses my feels because ugh, the amount of photoshop just kills me and jfc who decided that that shirt was a good idea? But I checked out the photographer because I am curious like that and she is a freaking GODDESS of lighting. I mean, her work is highly edited and kind of has a Michael Bay Transformers feel to it but jfc. Her lighting. I am in absolute AWE of it and am harbouring some serious jealousy for what she can do. /photographic feels

That third Strenesse .gif. I'll be there for awhile. Don't mind me.

[die4shin-sin.livejournal.com]

The first one. It's my first time seeing that one and it's beautiful.

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

It's my favourite too.

I agree with sashatwen that his profile has a melancholy aspect.

[plastickkheart.livejournal.com]

damn...that nike commercial.
