This issue: Antoine Arnaut, CEO of Berluti and chairman of Loro Piana, offers his expertise of the luxury goods industry as well as plans for Berluti’s future. Also included is a featurette of British actress Jacqueline Bisset as well as artist Sir Cecil Beaton, Academy Award winner and wartime photographer. 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'.
