  This particular cover comes from Men's Fashion, a fashion magazine with the target audien ce of typically younger men, 20s to 30s with an interest in style or fashion. This can be inferred from the name, but also the main image, which features Belgian actor Matthias Schonaerts, pulling focus toward s him and what he's wearing/his style, which would appeal t o the target audience of men who like fashion.    This particular cover breaks away from typical style magazine conventions by featuring Matthias’ entire body as most style magazines tend to feature their models' upper bodies or torsos.
