Fantastic Man is a "gentlemen's style journal" that suggests that life doesn't truly begin until 30, clothes are things worn by people and not by hangers and/or mammals that might as well be hangers, and that these clothes are personal, influenced by the season but dictated by the wearer. The magazine starts with the man and his personality and maps personal style from that essential starting point. What you end up with is a magazine about men in clothes, not models in fashion.Dreamt up by the designer Jop van Bennekom and the journalist Gert Jonkers (also the double Dutch pair behind BUTT Magazine), Fantastic Man currently has 7 issues in print with "super gentleman" Mr. Tom Ford on the cover of the spring/summer 2008 issue. Discussed: Scott Schuman on why he is the Sartorialist, plants, the art of writing letters, ways of packing, and pyjama looks (now there's one I can get behind!).
Could we get a Fantastic Woman, please?
