GQ
Print-wise, the US edition is the ultimate in men’s style. When American GQ did a lengthy profile on supermodel Daniela Pestova, the British one asked if she was wearing any pants. So we recommend the American one, with a balance of style, accessories, sport, food, technology and relationships. Oh, and the occasional scantily clad cover girl.

Haps
A lifestyle magazine from Busan, Korea, for the expatriate community, put together by one of our former team, Russell McConnell and his colleagues

Harper’s Bazaar
A promising start to Bazaar’s recovery under Glenda Bailey; the first sign was the “new old” masthead. While the web presence isn’t as strong, the magazine is growing again. Follow the latest in fashion. Subscribe through Lucire Newsstand by clicking here.
