SMILING THROUGH THE APOCALYPSE

ANDY

WARHOL

George Lois/Carl Fischer

Editor: Harold T.P. Hayes

Esquire May 1969: Just one of the numerous controversial covers created by George Lois and Carl Fischer for Esquire's brilliant editor Harold T.P. Hayes. Hayes was a man who nurtured the 'New Journalism' of the sixties and, during his decade-long reign as editor, redefined the look of America's premier Men's magazine.

His son Tom Hayes will soon release Smiling Through The Apocalypse, a documentary based on the amazing literary accomplishments made under his father's tutelage during a time of great change in America as evidenced on the pages of his magazine.

MOD MEN

It takes quite a suit to turn a head in King's Road, Chelsea where the Saturday afternoon pastime is Mod-shopping. This one managed to draw a crowd of mini-skirted birds. Grey hairline-striped worsted, the novel lapels stop at an overlap four-button front. Ticket pockets, deep side vented, by De Rogatis. Prince Igor tie.

Carnaby Street, a two-block-long throughfare which paved the way for a revolution. The sight-seeing descendant of an earlier revolution is State-side suited in a blend of wool and silk softly shadow-striped in blue and gold. The two pearl-buttoned double-breasted shows a split shawl collar, forward-pitched shoulders, waist suppression; angled pockets, side vents. By Tempo. Mr. John tie.

The kinky clothes at Biba's Art Nouveau-appointed shop in Kensington command the attention of two swinging swingers. Chalk-striped grey wool two-buttoned double-bresated suit for Now flaunts long-rolled peak lapels; welt pockets, deep side vents. By Hammonton Park. Tie by Reis of New Haven.

MOD DISCOVERS AMERICA

Gordon Waller

One-half of the British pop duo Peter and Gordon. Partner Peter Asher, the brother of Jane Asher who was Paul McCartney's first girlfriend of record.

Photography: David Bailey

Paul McCartney wrote the song Woman under the pseudonym Bernard Webb wanting to know if he could write a hit song without having his name associated with it.

It didn't do too badly - hitting 14 on the US Billboard chart.
