About this title

Synopsis:

This boxset of Volumes 1, 2 and 3 of The Mr Porter Paperback is the ultimate compendium of life and style advice for the modern man. It covers everything from the essential (how to take care of dress shoes or charm the in-laws) to the just-in-case (how to pull off daring feats or dance at a wedding). Derived from the site’s online journal (which has a large readership), the diverse content includes interviews with male icons inside and outside the fashion world (John Pawson, David Hockney, Irvine Welsh, Tinie Tempah, Damon Albarn, Ray Winstone...); profiles of style icons past and present (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Bob Dylan, River Phoenix, Haile Selassie, Tom Waits and many more); mini-features on fashion classics including the knitted tie, the biker jacket, the polo shirt; sixty pages of ‘The Knack’, snippets of advice on everything from how to behave in a spa to how to mix a Bloody Mary; and much more.
