Fantastic Man is not a superhero but it’s certainly here to save the day. ‘A Gentleman’s Style Journal’, the magazine focuses on the finer points of being male and rescues mankind from publications such as FHM or RALPH.
Issue No. 3 features Antony from Antony and the Johnsons, YSL designer Stefano Pilati, typography guru Wim Crouwel and, rather than wearing underpants on the outside, Fantastic Man looks into how to do grey suits, pleats, leather, chaussures and ‘The Art Of Smoking’.
In short, Fantastic Man is a breath of fresh air in a world of men’s magazines that smell more like stale Lynx deodorant.
