Esquire Singapore - July/August 2022

In dieser Angelegenheit

After winning three Media Publishing Association awards in 2013 and 11 in 2014, Esquire continues to be regarded as a beacon of excellent journalism in Asia with 15 wins in 2015. We have no idea where we kept the awards, though.

Founded in September 2012, the local edition is produced by a crop of respectable writers, photographers, illustrators and collaborators. Known for its powerful storytelling and ground-breaking photography, delivered in its signature wit, Esquire continues to steward men to their best in Singapore and beyond.

The birth of Esquire dates back as far as 1933 in the States and since then, the title is known for pushing boundaries with literary giants such as Ernest Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald and Norman Mailer finding their voice with the magazine.

These Are the Days of Our Lives

Teenhood has its cathedrals. Founts of spiritual deliverance that proffer transcendence. A sanctuary where communication and understanding are sanctified. Pop-punk is one of them, and within its shrine, Montreal's Simple Plan is among the most-decorated idols. When a band's music is so precision-engineered to mesh within the soundtrack of a man's life, you don't deny its infectious pull. You give into it-you love it.
