GQ CONTRIBUTORS

MEN OF THE YEAR 2019 • From emerging trends at the FRONTIER OF FASHION to every KEY TALKING POINT in art, tech, taste and politics, this month’s big gains are all in the DETAILS…

The 21 people who seem LIKEABLE… but who it’s OK to LOATH • They’re funny! They’re smart! They’re… nice! Nope, that’s exactly what they want you to think. There’s a whole tribe of obliging public figures who have cultivated a halo of likeability. But sit back and ask yourself: truly, deep down, do you like them? Us neither, actually…
