Spotlight on top men’s fashion blog Clothes Make The Man

Anthony McGrath is the editor-in-chief of Clothes Make The Man, which was recently ranked in the Top 10 UK’s Men’s Fashion Blogs. Aimed at the ‘ordinary man’, Clothes Make The Man helps its devoted audience make well-informed sartorial choices.

We caught up with Anthony, who told us about the genius of Tom Ford, the return of the tasche and working with PRs.

What makes your blog unique?
We answer the needs and wants of our reader, catering to them and ALWAYS thinking what they would want to read and know about. We offer a unique, knowledgeable, realistic and true perspective on menswear.

Will Men’s Fashion ever catch up with Women’s Fashion?
Sorry to burst that bubble, but no, women’s fashion and trends move so much faster than menswear and we mustn’t forget well-made menswear tends to be more expensive, generally, than womenswear. We are fighting a losing battle here lads.

Who is your favourite ever designer?
Tom Ford. Undisputedly, undeniably, a true genius

What up-and-coming designers will be tomorrow’s stars?
Ohh good question! I think James Long is already on his way. Likewise, Christopher Raeburn isn’t faring too badly.

What’s the best fashion show for men?
Now the best fashion show I’ve ever been to was the last Tom Ford show for Gucci; the atmosphere was literally electric!

Shoes or watch?
Mmm tough one. I can’t resist either to be honest; two of my biggest weaknesses are shoes and watches.

Beards: in or out?
Out, sorry. I mean it is up to the individual’s choice but beard are a bit Zzzzzz. Although, I hear a re-make of Magnum PI is in the making so maybe the question will be tasches: in or out?

What one thing should PRs/brands know about you?
I’m organised so approach me in time.

What are the best campaigns/collaborations you’ve worked on?
Ahh everyone I’ve worked has been great or I wouldn’t have worked on them. It has to be enjoyable.

What other blogs do you read?
When I have time I really enjoy catching up on blogs like The Chic Geek and The Style King.
