Inside Numéro Homme 50

On the cover of Numéro Homme 50, two embodiments of contemporary grace: Guillaume Diop, étoile dancer with the Paris Opera Ballet, and Lucky Love, a free-spirited, incandescent performer—both captured by the legendary Jean-Baptiste Mondino. Balancing audacity and sensuality, these two artists each reveal, in their own way, the beauty of movement.

To mark the magazine’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Numéro Homme also takes us into the mystical world of the whirling dervishes of Konya, Turkey—a spiritual and visual journey exploring the relationship between body, faith, and trance, as seen through the lens of photographer Pieter Hugo in a feature by Delphine Roche. The issue also includes a profile of American artist Sterling Ruby, a major figure in contemporary art, who reflects on two decades of a deeply multidisciplinary and experimental practice, spanning bronze, textiles, painting, and ceramics.

In cinema, interviews with Benjamin Voisin and Julien De Saint Jean—two rising stars radiating magnetic energy, poised to become the next leading lights of the silver screen. Also featured is an exclusive conversation with actor Laurent Lafitte, starring in The Richest Woman in the World, a biting comedy inspired by the Bettencourt affair, in which he plays a flamboyant character.

Finally, discover fashion editorials by Mélissa De Araujo, Jacob Sutton, Thomas Hauser, Laura Sciacovelli, and Yulia Gorbachenko, where elegance and experimentation continue to redefine the contours of masculinity.
