The new, larger-format version of the Parisian satirical, anti-fashion magazine. Merde now publishes on an annual cycle, which means it can deliver a chunkier offering of interviews and highly visual fashion editorials. For Fall 2025, this is the ‘YAP’ issue, an acronym for ‘Your Ambition Pays’, as well as an obvious nod to the Gen Z slang for oversharing. On the cover, it’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and ‘the queen of ‘owning it’’ Lisa Rinna. Plus, flip to page 72 for a profile of indie magazine mogul Bhavin Sheth, whose popular Soho newsstand launched Merde’s eighth issue back in 2024. merdemag.com
