Centrespread Top | Debonair

Derived from the Old French de bon aire ("of good family or nature"). Unlike "suave" (which can feel slightly oily) or "dapper" (which can feel twee), debonair implies an effortless confidence. The debonair man has a drink in his hand not because he needs it, but because it completes the geometry of his posture. He is at ease in a tuxedo, but equally comfortable in a linen shirt unbuttoned two buttons too low.

Launched in 1973 as an Indian counterpart to Playboy , the Debonair centrespread became iconic for its soft-focus, artistic nudity featuring Indian models. While celebrated for its visual content, the magazine, notably under editor Vinod Mehta, maintained a reputation for high-brow literature and social commentary, with vintage issues now heavily sought after by collectors. Historical context and details can be found in the Wikipedia entry for Debonair (magazine) .
