Former GQ Style Guy: 'Rebranding of the Style Guy is Offensive'

"I would have been happy to just go quietly away from such a vulgar operation, but I am offended at being made a scapegoat for their spectacular incompetence."

Glenn O’Brien, the GQ Style Guy for 15 years who was recently replaced with Mark Anthony Green, is not happy. O’Brien told FourPins.com he found the way he was replaced “dishonest” and “offensive:”

I find the notion that this is a ‘rebranding’ of the Style Guy offensive. I created the Style Guy, not GQ. It existed before I went to GQ. It had a long run in Details. I published a book under that title. It’s not something that existed before.
