Letter From The Editor

Men’s fashion, rather bizarrely, is a loaded term – even in men’s fashion magazines. Women’s fashion maga-zines are called just that. Ours are called style magazines.

It’s true that Promo Magazine is not strictly a fashion magazine. We’re a general interest high fashion title with a strong fashion element, and yet still we’re sometimes shy of saying so, lest it should frighten anyone off. Who, exactly, I’ve no idea, but you can’t be too careful in this business. Or rather, you absolutely can be too careful, and most publications are – which is why they’re so dull.

I, too, have my tedious moments. (Oh, you’ve noticed.) As a result, at Promo we frequently go with “style”, even though that’s not the same thing at all as fashion. It’s a nonsense, and we do it deliberately. Silly us. But why? Why are we scared to call a spade a spade, and a purple corduroy blouson a purple corduroy blouson? (Well, we’re not.

This fear of the word “fashion” is evident in male conversation, too. Plenty of us will admit to an interest in style, even a slavish devotion to it. That comes from Britain’s distinguished history as a mecca for men’s tai-loring, and also as the world’s most fertile breeding ground for youth cults and style tribes. Maybe you were once a mod, or a punk, or a soul boy, or a goth, or a casual or a junglist. Unless you were a Young Conserva-tive I bet you weren’t shy, back then, of talking to your fellow cultists about clothes.

But to admit to a fascination with fashion, either high or high-street, avant-garde or trad? That’s still seen, by some, as somehow unmanly, affected.

Well, sod it. This is the annual autumn/winter fashion issue of Promo Magazine. It’s stylish. But its focus is on fashion: the buying and selling of clothes, the search for new designers, collections, trends, looks. It’s concerned with what was fashionable once, what is fashionable now and what will be fashionable soon.

What’s the difference between style and fashion? You know the answer to that, instinctively, even with-out thinking about it. Style is an attitude, a way of being in the world. In clothing, it’s about putting things together, about looking comfortable and confident in whatever you’re wearing, whether that’s a turban or a T-shirt. Fashion is the clothes that the labels present each season, and it is the look of the moment on the street, whether stylish or otherwise.
