The October 2007, 50th anniversary issue of Gentleman's Quarterly (US version) features 50 of the most stylish men of the past 50 years. There is a different man on each of ten covers -- men who, of the 50 listed, purportedly represent the ultimate in manly style. The cover I bought?
Wow! Now I know why my mother swooned.
Other notables on the covers include Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, and JFK. I daresay the effortless Sir Michael Caine should have replaced the media-hyped and stylist-created Tom Brady as a cover boy, but at least Caine's in the top 50.
And I must also note that this phenomenal shot of Paul Newman more than makes up for the inclusion of Pete Doherty *shudder* in the top 50.
Doherty always reminds me of white bread left out in the rain -- soggy, bloated, torn and disheveled from being thrown out on the cobblestone to be pock-marked then rejected by flying rats -- decidedly not stylish. Though I suppose he does own his look, which I maintain is the true measure of style.
Gah, sometimes I loathe paradox.

Funny, I never pegged you as a man with Janet Reno-like fashion tastes in your women. I was thinking more along the lines of Greta Garbo. Maybe Nico. Am I romanticizing you a bit? ;)
You should see the women I date-
Though- to note-
these ain't Janet Reno's..
they got personality.. being that
