This issue: Feature interview with Lorenzo and Massimo Cifonelli explore the Italian, British and Parisian influence on their house cut, and the importance of keeping the company in the family. Issue No. 31 also looks into male fragrances and provides a brief glimpse into the life of Italian silent film actor, Rudolph Valentino. 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'.
