Adam Rapoport's recipe for looking good.

You probably won't be surprised to learn this, but Adam Rapoport, the editor-in-chief of Bon Appétit, is a stylish dude.

Rapoport took over as editor and changed Bon Appétit's style in 2010 to modernize it, at a time when the pressure was on. The magazine had the second-largest circulation at Condé then, and still does, by the way.
