HAMISH BOWLES
man in history has displayed such a bold sense of personal style as Hamish Bowles. The international editor-at-large of Vogue has been pushing the boundaries of menswear for decades, drawing on his private collection of haute couture – one of the largest in the world, stored in various undisclosed warehouses across the US – for inspiration. Bowles takes the classic tailoring format and festoons it with macro-checks, boating stripes and everything in between. With such unwavering panache and infectious sartorial festiveness, it’s no wonder, then, that he is the most powerful man in fashion.
