Got the opportunity to spend a bunch of time hanging out with @S_Evangelina talking about what we’re up to @GQMagazine for @NYTStyles . Photos by Ike Edeani.

Will Welch Leads GQ to ‘the New Masculinity’ (Published 2022)

When he got the job as top editor, a friend told him, “Yikes.” Now, with an assist from Brad Pitt, he has remade the men’s magazine for the post-#MeToo age.
