This issue: Hollywood’s highest-grossing actor Samuel L. Jackson discusses the issues which he feels most passionate about as well as providing some snippets about upcoming roles. This edition also explores notoriety, from the Cassini brothers to eroticism in classical art. Along with this there are articles about some of Hollywood’s biggest names in history, Ingrid Bergman and the ‘Godfather’, Marlon Brando. 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'.
