This issue: The Humanitarianism issue features an exclusive interview with Ralph Lauren and some of his contemporaries discussing the designer’s philanthropy and humble nature. Plus, a featurette on the ‘Dr No.’ Bond girl, Ursula Andress as well as an article concerning 1960s Hollywood and European film sensation, Alain Delon. 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'.
