Riassunto

Mr Porter, the global online retail destination for men’s style, not only stocks more than 170 of the world’s leading menswear brands, but provides a haven of advice, information, and male-friendly guidance. The site has proved that fashion can be successfully sold on the internet while appearing alongside compelling editorial content.Now The Mr Porter Paperback defines a whole new generation of men. Elegant, simple, and classically contemporary, the book contains interviews and insider tips—from "How to Appreciate Jazz" to "Creating a Bespoke Bloody Mary" or "Getting Out of a Hair Rut" —as well as recommendations, style commentaries, and insider articles on biker jackets, knitted ties, polo shirts, sweatshirts, tweed or shawl-collared cardigans, and much more. The clever and attractive design happily juxtaposes the Duke of Windsor with David Beckham. As Jeremy Langmead, Mr Porter’s Editor-in-Chief, says: "There are no fashion diktats anymore, no trends you have to follow; today, it’s just about feeling good, looking your best (because you want to), and enjoying every moment of it."

Dalla quarta di copertina:

The first volume of The Mr Porter Paperback: The Manual for a Stylish Life is a witty compendium of life and style advice for the modern man. Compiled by Mr Porters Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Langmead, it covers everything from the essential (how to take care of dress shoes or charm the in-laws) to the just-in-case (how to pull off daring feats or dance at a wedding). Derived from the sites online journal (which has a large readership), the diverse content includes interviews with male icons inside and outside the fashion world (John Pawson, David Hockney, Irvine Welsh...); profiles of style icons past and present (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Bob Dylan, River Phoenix, Haile Selassie, Tom Waits and many more); mini-features on fashion classics including the knitted tie, the biker jacket, the polo shirt; sixty pages of The Knack, snippets of advice on everything from how to behave in a spa to how to mix a Bloody Mary; and much more. The cover is crafted to evoke traditional letterpress printing methods and the book comes with a silk ribbon bookmark.
