Fantastic Man is a semi-annual men's fashion magazine which was launched in 2005. It presents men's fashion by detailed interviews with male celebrities and intellectuals from many different backgrounds.[1]

The magazine has been lauded for its art direction, winning the British D&AD award for Best Magazine & Newspaper Design in 2008.[2][3]

It is published in Amsterdam by Top Publishers, which also publishes Butt magazine. Fantastic Man launched a website with daily content in 2009 and a sister publication aimed at women, The Gentlewoman, in March 2010.[1][4][5][6]
