MEN 'S FOLIO Singapore Magazine - August 2024

In this issue

As a homegrown title, the Men’s Folio August issues tend to skew towards homeliness — given that it coincides with Singapore’s National Day. This year’s direction is no different, though we have tweaked it slightly to encompass a broader definition of home across this month’s main features. The Men’s Folio August 2024 theme — “Home” — invites you to delve into the profound significance of the environment you have flourished in.
