As spring arrives,

photographer

Rosaline Shahnavaz

shot this month’s Trends

stories in Details. From

light silk bowling shirts

to sustainable capsule

collections from esteemed

houses, Shahnavaz

charts everything you

need to be aware of

as the year begins to

(finally) thaw out. “I’m

an advocate of classic

items,” says Shahnavaz,

“staple pieces you can

keep for years.”

JOHNSON

Elgar Johnson,

Deputy Editor and

Fashion Director of

GQ Style, styled

Liverpool FC defender

Trent Alexander-Arnold

for a shoot midway

through what looks

set to be the football

club’s first ever Premier

League title-winning

season. “Trent is

21 years of age, a

Champions League

winner and the best

right-back in the world,

playing for the best

team in the world,” says

Johnson. “He looks great

in everything he wears.”

Sam

KNIGHT

GQ contributor and staff

writer for the New Yorker

Sam Knight profiled

Daniel Craig for this issue.

“I was warned Craig hated

interviews and could be

difficult,” says Knight.

“But spending time with

him over the winter, he

was disarmingly open as

he told the story of his life

as 007. ‘Pick the bones

out of that,’ he said. Very

good, Commander Bond.”

POMETSEY

Junior Digital Editor

Olive Pometsey covers

all of this month’s most

important trends and

stories on GQ.co.uk. In

the wake of International

Women’s Day, says

Pometsey, women are

setting the agenda. “From

Dua Lipa’s second album

to Disney’s live-action

remake of Mulan, women

are front and centre of

cultural life right now.”

Sean

WILLIAMS

Sean Williams ventured

to Myanmar to

investigate Southeast

Asia’s £47 billion drug

industry. “The country

is cleaved by militias,

druglords and corrupt

cops, so reporting its

truth is a painstaking

effort,” says Williams. “No

wonder it took months to

get to the heart of a meth

trade led by kingpins

bigger than El Chapo.” G

Oliver

HAZELWOOD

Designer Oliver Hazelwood

marks one year at GQ

this month. “The past

12 months have been the

most rewarding of my

career to date,” says

Hazelwood. “Working

alongside the industry’s

biggest hitters has given

me invaluable experience

and I’m looking forward

to continuing to learn,

progress and see what

the next year brings.”
