With its elegant black and white presentation and cutting edge menswear content Varon Magazine is one of the most enticing men’s fashion publications we’ve seen this season. Take a glimpse inside their latest issue and hear from editor in chief, Nacho Pinedo about what makes Varon special.

MDC: Who is the Varon man?

Nacho: The Varon man is ageless, contemporary, free, independent and sophisticated.

MDC: Describe the Varon man in one word.

Nacho: Classic.

MDC: What is the theme of this issue?

Nacho: This issue is about courage. Nicola is one of the bravest man in fashion always daring to break boundaries, Donatella shows a lot of courage with her 2012 men collection. The young British actors needs courage to succeed on them carrier and the fashion again is for men who dare to look unique.

Nacho: The challenge is always the same, to make a good independent and honest magazine.

This is regrettable because the longer they wait to reveal the abuse, the harder and more enduring the consequences will be.”
