The Rake

June 2021 - Issue 76
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.

arbiter • LORD OF THE ISLE; THE PATHFINDER; WILD BILL; DOGGIE, BAG; YOU’LL LEAVE A MARK; FLOWER POWER; UMAMI.

THE WILD WHIRLWIND OF MUSTIQUE • Colin Tennant was the mercurial British aristocrat who, with a little help from Princess Margaret, made the island of Mustique a byword for high-society escapism. His character earned him comparisons to Prospero — and a reputation for controversy.

‘MY AGENT SAID I WAS BORN FOR THE ROLE. THE DESCRIPTION WAS, “YOUNG, SMART AND PHYSICALLY FRAIL”’ • The British actor Harrison Osterfield is a new leading man in the mould of Jude Law and Hugh Grant. He talks to THE RAKE about his breakthrough — playing Prince Leopold in the Netflix series The Irregulars.

MAD ABOUT THE BOY • Guy Madison was one of Hollywood’s original ‘beefcakes’, a man known and adored more for his looks than his acting talent. But in the burgeoning visual age of the mid 20th century, that was more than enough.

SMALL WONDER • Diminutive, transportable and packed with anthropomorphic charm, the Griffon Bruxellois is the thinking owner’s dog of the moment.

MARK OF A MAN • Mark Cho, the co-founder of The Armoury haberdashery, has become one of the most influential voices in the sartorial world.

A PASSION FOR PRINT • Street style has a new contender, which blends the codes of classic tailoring with the joyous heritage of Hawaiian shirts. We found the best proponents of the look to show us how it’s done…

BARING HER SOUL • The former model and counterculture figure Nena von Schlebrügge turned her back on the vapidities of fame to pursue a more spiritual calling.

atelier • INVESTMENT HANKER; JUST KEEP SWIMMING; PURE FABRICATION; PICTURE PERFECT; THE ISLE IS FULL OF NOISES.

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

‘FUN AND ELEGANCE — THE MAGIC MEETING POINT’ • Vilebrequin’s 50th anniversary collection of swimwear — for which they reinvented key pieces from their archives — captures the secrets of the brand’s success. Its essence, says Roland Herlory, the Chief Executive, is simple: how to live well by the sea.

RELIGIOUS CONVERSION • Super-fine, durable, luxurious and evergreen: with an upgraded version of their classic Tasmanian fabric, Loro Piana are calling to us once more…

A WORLD IN A GRAIN OF SAND • Leica have teamed up with Daniel Craig and the acclaimed lensman Greg Williams to create a limited-edition camera that will help you practise the art of candid photography.

THE RAKE AND REVOLUTION BOUTIQUES AT PATINA MALDIVES • In partnership with Pontiac Land Group, THE RAKE and REVOLUTION usher in a new era of luxury resort retail.

articles • PLAYING THE DANE; FEELING SLIM; UPTOWN GIRLS.

SKÅL OF THOUGHT • Mads Mikkelsen’s C.V. is peppered with Danish language films and high-end Hollywood blockbusters. To absorb the full gamut of his abundant talent, though, we should immerse ourselves...
