”Unless you have the values of being a good person inside, it doesn't matter what you wear. You will look like a jerk." Michael Hainey is one of the most influential editors of present day. For 16 years, he was the Deputy Editor of GQ Magazine, before moving to Esquire almost two years ago, becoming their executive director of editorial. This is a conversation about the state of menswear today, how men’s yearning for storytelling has changed the conversation, and why we have more style icons today than ever before. Michael had a lot to say. Enjoy!
