MEN 'S FOLIO Singapore Magazine - October 2023

In this issue

In a world where the boundaries between reality and the digital realm blur with
each passing day, we find ourselves at an intriguing crossroads where screens
mediate our every interaction, and interpersonal connection has evolved from
handshakes to emoji-laden texts. We celebrate Men’s Folio’s 26th anniversary this
October with the theme U / I, a play on the most fundamental interface of all. Instead
of sophisticated codes that bridge the gap between us and the ever-expanding
virtual universe, we explore the connection between “You and I”. As we navigate
the complexities of modern life, technological advancements have transformed
relationships. We have the ability to reach out to anyone, anywhere, at any time, yet
the question remains: are we truly connected? The Men’s Folio October 2023 issue
explores the nuances and beauty of the human bonds and touches.
