A journalist with a passion for classic men's elegance, Simon writes freelance articles for several international magazines as well as running his own website, Permanent Style.

Simon Crompton is Editor-in-Chief of Gentleman’s Corner, a website that celebrates the style and craft of men’s dress, with a focus on fine shoes.
The site features columnists from a range of backgrounds, including writers at Esquire, Men’s Health, Selectism and Man About Town. It also draws on the discoveries of new, young columnists entering the world of classic footwear, and reaches out to the world of sneaker fanaticism.
As well as directing the site and its contributors, Simon writes monthly features that include interviews with some of the best tailors in the UK, including Norton & Sons, Pogson & Davis and Jonathan Quearney.
Gentleman’s Corner will be launching in July 2009.
