A Century of Men's Lifestyle and Beyond
Launched in 1931 as Apparel Arts, GQ is the longest-running men’s-interest magazine in the English language. Originally a men’s fashion trade magazine, it subsequently became a consumer title and expanded its coverage to become a broader men’s lifestyle and popular culture magazine, encompassing material such as celebrity interviews, health and sex columns and features on art, politics, sports and music. The availability of the backfile of this influential, high-circulating publication, will give researchers a unique opportunity to explore 90 years of content revealing contemporary ideas and attitudes pertaining to masculinity/sex roles, fashion, popular culture, society, and more.
