Hercules Magazine sets out to thrill with a new issue that showcases the very best of the season’s menswear. Focusing on the forbidden city and the fashion impact of Chinese luxury, the elegantly packaged glossy is filled with stunning new editorials and boasts a distinctive visual style. Looking more like a fashion textbook, than a plain ol’ magazine, Hercules’ sets itself apart as a style bible for the dashing gent, but don’t take our word for it it – have a first look at the latest issue in our exclusive preview.

Hercules Magazine gives us a sneak peek at their next issue via a special Mariano Vivanco/Nicola Formichetti video directed by Luca Finotti. It’s filled with beautiful people cavorting around and some eye popping imagery. We spot Behati Prinsloo, Arlenis Sosa, Dirty Martini and Amanda Lepore. Needless to say, it’s NSFW.
