This issue: Featuring one of Italy’s most renowned sartorial influences Luca Rubinacci who discusses the family business and the history of Neapolitan tailoring. This edition also discusses the legacy and legitimacy of luxury French fashion house Hermès along with Ivy Style icon G. Bruce Boyer’s contemplations and considerations on the blazer. Fashion magazines are a dime a dozen, full of ads, overpriced clothing and glib tips on 'what's hot right now.' The Rake, on the other hand, stands alone as the only publication dedicated to the art of classic style. Named for Fiat and Ferrari kingpin Gianni Agnelli (aka 'The Rake of the Riviera'), the magazine focuses strictly on the finer things: bespoke tailoring, fine shoes, watches and accessories. But The Rake is more than a repository of expensive things, its pages bulge with feature articles on the men and women, past and present, who have shaped the history of style and 'the good life'.
