{"product_id":"valet-issue-7-sex","title":"Valet - Issue 7 \"Sex\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eGentlemen, rouse yourselves from the slovenly majority, Valet 7 has finally emerged from the subterranean chambers of our printing press to make its crepuscular landfall, and its main theme is sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 280-page tome of dissent against the beige mediocrity of the modern street, it is all that stands between you and inexorable march of modernity and its unseductive ills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong much else fodder for the poet within, we sit down with Nicolas Gabard of Husbands Paris who reminds us that tailoring and indeed style are a dialogue with history—a way to inhabit a silhouette that is as much an intellectual statement as it is a physical one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe perform a necessary exorcism: the ritual cremation of a Birkenstock sandal, committing, finally, this orthopaedic monstrosity to the pyre not out of malice, but out of a sense of civic duty. Ugliness is a cardinal sin that no amount of cork-soled comfort can absolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing this theme of heat, David Miro of @paris_image_unlimited peels back the layers of his taste and discernment by taking us through an array of his favourite items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt great length, as is our wont, we survey and discuss the question on every well dressed chap’s mind: what makes a suit sexy and transforms its wearer into a figure of such statuesque potency that he becomes eminently beddable?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe pair this with a lament for the tassel, that percussive ornament whose rhythmic clack remains the true soundtrack of a life lived in character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe reflect on a childhood Christmas ritual, where a deflated football was transmuted into a mirror ball of shimmering, dust-filled light—a first lesson in eroticism. Meanwhile, the legendary musician Tommy Mandel recalls a vanished era of rock-and-roll where fingering was fetishized in the pursuit of the decadent chord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is, as ever, a bloody sight more to get your teeth into. And finally it’s here. Read it before the shadows grow too long and the undertakers are already in the pub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Valet \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© Valet Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yvon Lambert Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57708948324700,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/4913\/8498\/files\/V7-_over_c5f4b89d-bfc0-4e63-96e0-29ecc141dd29_jpg.webp?v=1779375575","url":"https:\/\/www.yvon-lambert.com\/products\/valet-issue-7-sex","provider":"Yvon Lambert Paris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
