This issue: Featuring an interview with Diego Della Valle, the CEO of the Tod’s brand and grandson of Filippo Della Valle who started the original shoemaking business in the 1920s. There are also featurette articles on Sir James Goldsmith, the British billionaire and rumoured father of Diana, Princess of Whales as well as a guide to ‘perfect’ shirting. 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'.
