Fantastic Man 14
The 14th installment of FANTASTIC MAN features the phenomenal fashion designer Mr. RAF SIMONS on the cover. Photographed at his home in Antwerp, RAF is seen wearing select pieces by RAF SIMONS and JIL SANDER – both brands he designs for. Three equally compelling gentlemen constitute the other main profiles: the fabulous magician Mr. DAVID COPPERFIELD, the interior-decorator extraordinaire Mr. RICKY CLIFTON and the hailed London-based chef Mr. YOTAM OTTOLENGHI. Furthermore, FANTASTIC MAN explores new grounds in CHINA through a 37-page fashion reportage inspired by the stylistic characteristics of the gentlemen of Beijing. The home object of the season is the curious PAPERWEIGHT, a truly beautiful but truly useless object. The brothers COVIZZI, familiar faces to the fashion circuit, are seen in an Italian suiting exposé during the recent menswear presentations in Milan. The remainder of the issue is full of many other diversions, style investigations, tips and tricks for the upcoming Autumn and Winter seasons, including a delightful new format in which we have conducted conversations with a number of commendable men, aptly titled THE CONVERSATIONS.

Taking a completely new approach in the interior design magazine market, apartamento features real people in real environments, with interiors we can all aspire to rather than over-styled, over-glossy, catalogue-like spreads.

Now the company has decided that Japanese is no longer the center of its universe. It’s new store overlooking Bryant Park will house a majority of English-language titles in an effort to expand their audience.
