Another Man is a biannual men’s fashion and culture magazine launched in 2005 by Jefferson Hack as a companion to AnOther Magazine. Where its sister title brought intellectual ambition to womenswear, Another Man did the same for menswear — treating men’s fashion not as a consumer guide or a lifestyle accessory but as a lens through which to examine masculinity, identity, and contemporary culture at their most interesting and most contested.
The magazine’s editorial mix combines fashion photography of the highest calibre with essays, interviews, and features that range across music, art, film, and literature. The contributors have included some of the most significant creative figures of the era, and the result is a publication that feels less like a fashion magazine and more like a cultural document — a record of how men dress, think, and present themselves to the world at a particular moment in history.
Another Man understood from the start that the most interesting thing about menswear is not the clothes but the men who wear them — and the culture that shapes them both. At a time when conversations about masculinity were growing louder and more complex, the magazine provided a space where those conversations could happen visually, intellectually, and without the reductive frameworks that dominate most mainstream media coverage of men and how they present themselves.
In the Hack publishing ecosystem — which also includes Dazed and AnOther — Another Man occupied a distinctive position: more focused than its siblings, more intimate, and arguably more willing to take visual risks. It proved that a men’s fashion magazine could be as ambitious, as beautiful, and as culturally serious as anything published for women, and that the audience for such a publication was not only real but hungry for it.
