GQ is a men’s fashion and lifestyle magazine owned by Condé Nast. The publication originated in 1931 under the name of Apparel Arts and was intended to give selling advice to retailers and wholesalers of men’s fashion and accessories. It quickly transitioned into a public men’s fashion magazine named Esquire, in 1933. Fast forward about 25 years, Esquire then split off into a quarterly magazine under the name of Gentleman’s Quarterly. This magazine was then sold to Condé Nast in 1983 and shortened to the name of GQ.
