Popeye — English Edition

Popeye — English Edition

Subtitled The Magazine for City Boys and published continuously from Tokyo since 1976, Popeye is the longest-running men's fashion and lifestyle magazine in Japan. The English edition translates the monthly issue intact, covers included — and the covers themselves have become quietly collectible, working as well on a shelf as on a coffee table.

What sets Popeye apart from the European menswear press is its editorial weight on the everyday: how to dress, how to furnish a small flat, how to spend a weekend in a particular neighbourhood, how to read a particular author. Useful, specific, and unusually well-photographed throughout. UK cover price £30.
