The 400th issue is the most ambitious edition ShortList has ever attempted. It contains an astonishing array of male icons who have provoked, challenged, entertained, enlightened and inspired generations, say the publishers.
The ShortList Greatest Issue has dedicated an entire issue to new stylish shoots and intelligent interviews with Sir Michael Caine, Sir Steve Redgrave, Ray Winstone, John Cooper Clarke, AP McCoy, Sir Paul Smith, John Lydon, John Cleese, Martin Scorsese, Mario Testino, Thierry Henry, Sir John Hurt, Kazuo Ishiguro, Jonathan Ross and Joe Calzaghe.
The 400th issue showcases an ‘eyes closed’ cover treatment featuring all 15 cover stars. A gif version will be available on ShortList.com, bringing them to life.
In addition to the regular content spanning the eight editorial pillars of ShortList - fashion, design, music, sport, film, TV, gaming and food, a team of contributors has been assembled to offer intelligent, informative and irreverent debate on greatness.
* Ben Collins, Top Gear’s The Stig, on the Greatest Supercars
* Pele on the Greatest Ever Team – the 1970 World Cup Brazil team
* Kevin Bridges, Frank Skinner, Romesh Ranganathan on the Greatest Stand-up Comedian
* Michel Roux Jr, Gordon Ramsay, Tom Kerridge and John Torrode on the Greatest British Meals
* Howard Jacobson, Adam Foulds and Stephen Kelman on the Greatest British Novel of the last 100 years
ShortList Editor Martin Robinson says, “What you really want to do when you meet an icon – someone who has lived larger and longer than you – is to listen to them talk about his life, and what they have learned about the things that matter. You want to ask questions and get answers. You want your heroes to show you how to live, and how not to live. You want to find out how they achieved their greatness. That’s what ShortList’s 400th issue is all about, and we have recruited 15 of The Greats to inspire our readers with their stories.”
ShortList Media COO Karl Marsden says, “As the UK’s largest men’s lifestyle magazine ShortList has already proved a hit with big brand advertisers wanting an unrivalled weekly platform to engage with their consumers through innovative, creative ad solutions. The ShortList Greatest Issue is bigger and bolder and just the beginning as we have a number of exciting product developments in the pipeline for 2016 which will re-affirm ShortList’s position as a dynamic, multi-platform brand in touch with today’s urban male consumer.”
