Jeremy Langmead has spent more than two decades shaping the way men dress. As the former editor of Esquire, The Sunday Times Style and now the Brand Director at Mr Porter, he's helped define modern menswear. Along the way he's partied with JLO and Donatella Versace, interviewed Madonna, and witnessed the fashion world at its wildest. But this conversation goes far beyond style. As well as revealing stories from his time in fashion, Jeremy also joins me to talk about falling in love without labels, raising children, prostate cancer and why facing mortality completely changed the way he lives his life.
