According to the publishers: “No other magazine mixes men’s tastes in style and culture as powerfully as Port. Editor Dan Crowe and team have brought together an international group of award-winning editors, art directors, stylists and writers, along with a stellar cast of contributing editors including Jon Snow, Hanif Kureishi, Ekow Eshun, August Kleinzahler, Don Morrison and Fergus Henderson. Port launches as the credible and intelligent answer for men interested in every aspect of style and life – fashion, travel, design and living, architecture, literature, entertainment and global issues – connecting the reader with genuinely engaging content instead of advertising for the latest commercial release.
Harking back to the grand extended magazine interviews of the mid 60’s, the lead Port profile offers an authentic, in-depth look at the life of a contemporary icon and the forces they feel are important – issue one features a key essay by Daniel Day-Lewis. By placing celebrities, fashion and style into a cultural context, Port is a refreshing and influential title for the industries it reflects, while also appealing to a mainstream audience.
Art directed in London by Kuchar Swara and Matt Willey, each quarterly issue of Port will be a collector’s item in its own right. Significant, practical editorials on the major fashion collections, styled by fashion director David St. John-James (previously fashion editor at AnOther and AnOther Man), will offer a comprehensive analysis for men interested in style – but without all the hyperbole and spin.
Port expects to be distinguished for its sense of editorial confidence and for its iconic art direction. As well as investigative reports from the likes of Martin Amis and ex-Time editor Don Morrison, each issue will feature a standalone section dedicated to a powerful, original short story from a leading author.
Port will mix the traditional and contemporary at their very best, creating a truly modern magazine.”
