From Claire Hazan, Head of Editorial Content, GQ France

"It's a privilege and an exciting challenge to lead France's top men's magazine at a time when the definitions of masculinity are more diverse and evolving than ever. I believe that fashion, culture, and sports are powerful lenses to tell stories that reflect and shape societal change. I feel deeply inspired by the opportunity to bring forward a new generation of boundary-pushing creatives, artists, and voices, alongside the GQ team, to tell these stories while staying true to GQ's essence-bold, stylish, and always forward-thinking."
