The Rake

June 2019 - Issue 64
Magazine

The world’s preeminent publication dedicated to the renaissance in gentlemanly sophistication and style, THE RAKE recaptures the codes of classic men’s elegance. Inspired by icons such as Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, the Duke of Windsor, Gianni Agnelli, Sean Connery, and their contemporary counterparts, THE RAKE provides incisive, in-depth commentary on magnificent menswear, and the many other elements of gentlemanly living, from manners and ethics, to art and design, tasteful travel, health and well-being, the intellectual and philosophical, to homes, modes of transport, entertainment, food and drink. THE RAKE is the modern voice of classic elegance.

THE RAKE

arbiter • THE WONDER OF HIM; RAKE COMMENDS; THEROUX THE LOOKING GLASS; THE YOUNG PRETENDER; SHOP THE LOOK; MUST BE TALKING TO AN ANGEL; THE BODY OF CHRISTENSEN; MAN’S ACTUAL BEST FRIEND.

LATE NIGHTS LISTENING TO THE SUN SESSIONS • Even Elvis Presley was young and innocent once. In fact, he might even have been described as pure. It’s worth remembering that time — when a swaggering 19-year-old with a great unsullied talent and a soul full of music walked into the Sun Records studio in ’54 and gave post-war society a glimpse of a future more thrilling than anything it could have imagined…

RAKE COMMENDS: DUBAI • This month THE RAKE’s peripatetic sartorial consigliere, SHARY RAHMAN, lands in the ultimate modern megacity that formed like a mirage in the Arabian Desert…

ESCAPING THE TYRANNY OF THE ORDINARY • The writer Paul Theroux has been cast in a great American tradition — as an inquirer, an idealist and, most importantly, a subversive. From his defining work, 1975’s The Great Railway Bazaar, he has helped us see the world anew.

PLAYING THE LONG GAME • For Tom Hughes, a star of the movie Red Joan, playing guitar was like existing in a ‘different time realm’. He didn’t think he’d find a similar way of escaping, until he stepped into a school play and another career path opened up…

CREASED LIGHTNING • Our advice for your sartorial summer: embrace the wrinkles and wear the hell out of linen.

A NEW CONSTITUTION • Angel Ramos and Stephen Schweickart, the founders of Angel Bespoke who are set to rebrand their business as 18th Amendment, select a few highlights from their personal style collections.

THE DANISH GIRL • Helena Christensen got her big break at the 1986 Miss Universe pageant, and has since gone on to shoot as many as 600 magazine covers. But this socially conscious polymath was never content just to pout and cash the cheques…

INTRODUCING… THE ÜBERHUND • With a touching attempt at modesty, our yellow Labrador explains why his is the dog breed to trump them all…

atelier • INVESTMENT HANKER; GETTING SHIRTY; HIT THE DECK.

INVEST • Investments can be unpredictable, but not so with these six winners, which we have handpicked to provide you with sound and secure appreciation — aesthetically, spiritually and financially.

BUDD, KING OF SHEARS • Budd are synonymous with a classic British style of tailoring that has flourished for more than a century. So spare a thought for them as THE RAKE impudently suggests they cast off convention to create two shirts designed to be worn together.

‘IT’S ABOUT EMPOWERING WOMEN — RESHUFFLING THE PACK’ • When she wore a tailored suit for the first time, Daisy Knatchbull felt like she could rule the world. With her sartorial venture The Deck, Knatchbull hopes many other women will be able to experience a similar emotion.

articles • HART TO HEART; SUMMER DREAMS; FORMING A BOND; DYNASTY WARRIORS; PARENTAL GUIDANCE.

KING OF HEARTS • Kevin Hart has conquered stand-up and comic acting in a vertiginous rise, writes TOM CHAMBERLIN, and now...
