It Was Always Just Energy

All the Menswear Your Inner Baller Could Ever Want • Menswear loves autumn – and so does Martin Ødegaard, Arsenal’s captain and your new patron saint of very nice jackets.

Martin Ødegaard’s Third Wind • As the standard bearer of Arsenal’s renewed hope, the 25-year-old Norwegian has the weight of the Emirates on his shoulders. Pressure? What pressure?

A Watch Is More Than Just a Pretty Face • As collectors look to make their grail watches stand out, they’re turning to unique vintage bracelets and paying thousands on thousands for straps on the secondary market.

Make Your First Electric Car an Old Ford Banger • In a former naval shipyard on the West Coast of the US, one start-up is cooking up cars for the next century – just not the kind you think.

The Watch World’s Indie King • Rexhep Rexhepi designs meticulously crafted watches that are just shy of perfection – and that is exactly what makes them so desirable. We sat down with the young legend in his Geneva workshop (just after the £1.78 million sale of one of his pieces) to understand what makes him tick.

Sebastian Stan’s American Dream • With an uncanny performance as a young Donald Trump in The Apprentice and an even less recognisable turn in A Different Man, the shapeshifting actor is embracing his freaky side.

The Future of Beef? Low-Mileage Cows • London’s best restaurants are embracing fatty, aged beef, imported to the UK for a big hit of indulgence on the plate.

“IT’S NOT ABOUT BEING PERFECT. IT’S ABOUT BEING REVOLUTIONARY.” • Beyoncé Knowles-Carter talks business, legacy, art, and family.

This is the story of how an army of artisans turned back centuries to restore Notre-Dame by hand, and wound up reviving something even greater than the cathedral itself.

ChaiNS & ChaRMS • The bag of the moment is the one you make your own.

PIERS MORGAN DOESN’T CARE THAT YOU’RE HATE-WATCHING (AS LONG AS YOU'RE WATCHING) • Britin’s most divisive broadcaster is thriving in his new life as a YouTube firebrand, winning global scoops, uncancelling the cancelled, and providing surprisingly in-depth coverage of the war in Gaza. All of which prompts a surreal question: HAS PIERS MORGAN FIGURED OUT THE FUTURE OF TV NEWS?

Wes Lang’s Heroes of love… • LA-based artist Wes Lang this month unveils The Black Paintings, a monumental series of works that play like storyboards to a raucous midnight horror film – and a spiritual quest. Here, GQ collaborates with the artist on a fashion story that brings his stylish characters off the canvas.
