Haven't had a proper read yet but doesn't look too bad. Make sure to ignore Dylan Jones fuckwitted dribblings, and the ludicrous amount of space they give to moisturiser and fucking face cremes (must get a shitload of advertising revenue from them I guess) and there looks to be stuff worth reading.
Bit about Rick Owens, and Thom Browne and Terry Richardson talking about each other. Number (N)ine features more than once which is a bit of surprise.
Hopefully Arena Homme Plus is out shortly.

Sometimes I email ebay sellers who are modelling their clothes badly pretending to be Dylan Jones asking them to model for GQ , it amuses me greatly

Maybe it doesn't come across in print as much, but if you ever see him on TV you'll realise what a pompous twat he is

The grooming sections in magazines like GQ Style are one of the main reasons I buy them.

I'm more pissed off about the ludicrous amount of space they give to nice looking pictures where you can barely make out the clothes. What's the sense in showing me a blurry, black and white photograph of a model wearing a coat when I can't see the fucking thing clearly enough to tell if I like it and maybe want to buy it.

The last six or seven issues of Arena Homme Plus have been shit IMO. Fashion Inc has been the only one worth buying and not just flicking through for two minutes at Borders.

I take it you never read The Face, they pioneered the totaly useless fashion photospread.

Can I just point out it wasn't me who said that.
I fucking loved The Face, bought it for years, even when that bloke from Popbitch took over and it became shit.

I liked The Face, that was the first fashion mag that i read each month then moved onto ID etc.
Remember the first one i bought, Had Nadja Auerman on the front cover in a red lether catsuit type thing in the early ninties
