Truth be told you've dragged Dylan quite a few times. We all did!
I do miss the old bugger even though he ran the magazine as an upmarket lad rag at times. It still had some identity at least. The last breed of proper journalists running magazines. Oh well, thankfully there's still Alex Bilmes

I don't like the cover at all. And the squint only makes it worse.

Looks like I'll have to start learning Italian to really enjoy Icon Italia because God knows it's the only men's magazine worth buying nowadays.

Do you remember the Men's Vogue that came out in 2005?

Who are you trying to impress by learning Italian so you can read Icon LOL Have you looked at the current Aaron Taylor-Johnson coverstory??? No red-blooded male and Mullet cares to read Italian or any other language written about him when the shots say it all: That man is gorgeously shot. In and out of clothes.That’s all the reading you need.

^I'm sorry I do actually like the magazine as a whole and not just the usual thirst trap cover editorial meant to court circuit gays. Sure they're not as classy as UK Esquire but they have such a solid handle on fashion and grooming.

Do you remember the Men's Vogue that came out in 2005?

As clear as daylight! It was great as an idea, the fantasy concept of what the male counterpart to US Vogue would want in a magazine. I don't think it ever connected with men at the time least of all the ones they actively tried to court.

The market research was definitely off with that magazine.
