Salon International - November 2018

Mark Simpson, the famous writer and broadcaster specialising in
popular culture, media, and masculinity, has said, “Metrosexual man is
a single young man with a high disposable income, living or working in
the city (because that is where all the best shops are), is perhaps the
most promising consumer market of the decade. In the 80s, he was
only to be found inside fashion magazines, such as, GQ. In the 90s,
he is everywhere and he is going shopping.” However, it was not until
the early 2000s when Simpson returned to the subject that the term
became globally popular. In 2002, salon.com published an article by
Simpson, which described David Beckham as 'the biggest metrosexual
in Britain' and offered this updated definition: The typical metrosexual
is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a
metropolis – because that is where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and
hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this
is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own
love object and pleasure as his sexual preference.
With the context in place, we bring to you the cover story titled the
'Men's Grooming Industry: Growing from Strength to Strength'. It
highlights the cataclysmic rise of the category thanks to the changing
needs of the metrosexual male. With inputs from major players in the
business as well as industry-reports by Mintel, we say it like we see it.
Dr Debraj Shome, a Cosmetic Surgeon & Director, The Esthetic Clinics
in Mumbai, shares insights on the trending aesthetic procedure called
Beard Transplant. Shahnaz Husain, veteran in the beauty industry,
