The Rake is a British bimonthly men's magazine that focuses on luxury fashion, culture, and style. It was founded in 2008 by Wei Koh, a Singapore-based entrepreneur and publisher.
History
[edit]Launched in 2008 in Singapore, The Rake was conceived as a publication focused on high-end watches and luxury goods. The magazine was published in several languages across international editions.[1][2]
During the 2008 financial crisis, The Rake was launched in response to what its founder saw as a lack of men's lifestyle publications focused on classic style and craftsmanship.[2][3]
Initially based in Singapore, it is now based in London.[1] The editor of The Rake is Tom Chamberlin.[4]
