Conceived and edited by Phaidon Editors, with an introduction by Jacob Gallagher, The Men’s Fashion Book is an A to Z survey of the people and brands that have shaped men’s style.

It covers more than two centuries of menswear, from traditional tailoring to streetwear and contemporary fashion culture.

The book is organised alphabetically across 500 entries.

It moves between designers, brands, photographers, icons, models, retailers, tailors, stylists, editors, writers, publications, and illustrators.

It also includes figures connected to art direction, influence, millinery, and textiles.

Entries place established names alongside newer voices.

Examples include Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith, Ozwald Boateng, Alessandro Michele, Kim Jones, and Virgil Abloh.

The structure is designed for browsing as well as research. Each entry works as a concise profile.

Together they build a broad picture of how men’s fashion has evolved through image-making, design, and the industries that support it.

As an object, it’s a hardback volume with a bold cover treatment and marker ribbons in red and black.

It’s sized for display and frequent handling and works well as a studio reference as much as a living-room book.

Hardback; 528 pages; 290 × 250 mm.
