MEN 'S FOLIO Singapore - March 2022

この問題で

For this special March 2022 issue, Men's Folio delves into the “Extraordinary Magnetism” of fashion, an undeniable allure that ceaselessly draws people in. The beauty of fashion largely hinges on its limitless bounds. No idea is too big.

Having this in mind, the Men's Folio team stretched its limits with this issue. With over 200 pages of locally produced content, not only is it hefty in its physical format, the ideas explored within the pages are equally weighty.

Fittingly, this issue’s cover story, featuring South Korean boy band BTS – undeniably one of the biggest global acts – makes the history books at MEN’S FOLIO as the most extensive cover story to date. The team brings you behind the curtain in our candid chats with each member, clad in Louis Vuitton no less, where we take a walk down their road to fame.

March is a big month for fashion. With fashion month in full swing, the team launches into a contemplation of the Spring/Summer ’22 menswear collections (from Dior, Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Zegna, Hermes and Saint Laurent just to name a few) on and beyond the runways. As the world trudges along into a post-pandemic world, the team extrapolates the role of fashion in the cultural zeitgeist. What will this era in fashion say about how we live today?

On the same riff, Men's Folio examines the effect contemporary society has had on the way men groom themselves. As the lines between timeworn gender stereotypes have blurred, self-care is no longer a domain reserved for femmes, it has become a way of life for everyone.

Lastly, the team also invites you to take a closer look at the highlights of the LVMH Watch Week 2022 and revel in the novelties of watchmaking. The unmatched innovation of watchmakers, just as fashion does, is a testament to bringing out-of-the-box ideas to life.

As you leaf through the pages of this March issue, you will escape into a realm of unbridled musing and dream of a world that stretches beyond your perceived reality.

Change Is The Only Constant: The Dawn Of Our New Cultural Era

Across the menswear Spring/Summer ’22 season, designers have explored how our relationship with dress has evolved as it attempts to indulge in a new, still undefined cultural era poised by abrupt changes as a result of the pandemic — which poses the question: what is fashion’s place in our lives today?
