The Golden Age of GQ

GQ
October 2007
"IT AL STARTED HERE, how an unknown former model turned photographer (Bruce Weber), a gay art director (Donald Sterzin), and a collegiate water-polo player from California (Jeff Aquilon) used the pages of GQ to redefine the american man and changed forever the look of magazines, photography and advertising.








Great article about what is known as the golden years of GQ, late 70's/early 80's, Jack Heber editor in chief, Harry Coulianos and Donald Sterzin fashion editors, Rico Puhlmann, Barry McKinley and Bruce Weber fashion photographers and models like Jeff Aquilon and Michael Ives.
