During Nelson's tenure, GQ has become more oriented towards younger readers and those who prefer a more casual style.
GQ has been closely associated with metrosexuality. The writer Mark Simpson coined the term in an article for British newspaper the Independent about his visit to a GQ exhibition in London: "The promotion of metrosexuality was left to the men's style press, magazines such as The Face, GQ, Esquire, Arena and FHM, the new media which took off in the Eighties and is still growing. . . . They filled their magazines with images of narcissistic young men sporting fashionable clothes and accessories. And they persuaded other young men to study them with a mixture of envy and desire. "
