Did You Know That GQ Style Was A Separate Magazine?

It’s four issues for $50.

Everyone’s sharing pictures of gaunt fashion Brad Pitt rolling around in White Sands and the Florida Everglades (harder to roll around in stalactites but he went to Carlsbad, too) this morning, and I just wanted to point out that GQ Style, the confusing quarterly sibling of GQ that was suddenly revamped right after Details shuttered, presumably to hold onto those sweet sweet advertising dollars:

With the closure of Details last month, we learned that GQ Style, an offshoot of the Condé Nast menswear title, would be increasing its publication from a biannual schedule to a quarterly one and launching its own website.

Anyway it’s now a whole thing of its own—think of it as a slim-fit GQ. Here’s an interview with Editor-in-Chief Will Welch, which sort of explains it:

Does it matter that this is where they filed the Ryan McGinley photoshoot plus interview transcript with Brad Pitt? Not really. Very smart though! Brad looks like he’s on the Angelina diet. The interview is sort of wandering and hard to follow and has that paradoxical empty-calorie feeling of seeming like Pitt is sharing a lot but also nothing at all, and that he’s either really “digging deep” as GQ style’s Twitter will have you believe, or that he’s just in a sort of proto-Val Kilmer phase, sculpture and all.
