Press Gazette called it the progenitor of all todays mens style magazines. It was the customer offshoot of the well-established weekly trade magazine for tailors, The Tailor & Cutter. In 1960, the magazine was bought by publishers Clive Labovitch and future Conservative MP Michael Heseltine and launched as a glossy style magazine. The title was then changed from Man About Town to About Town and, in 1962, to just Town. Tom Wolseys art direction from 1960-63 spearheaded a new dynamic and an influential new typography. Like society magazine, Queen, Town was responding to the cultural shift, adopting a contemporary editorial and innovative design centred on photography, with dramatic illustration and layouts. The modern look of the new magazine continued with Dennis Bailey taking on the role of art director from 1964-66, with bold typography and strong photography.
