IN KEEPING WITH TRADITION, we dedicate our March issue to the celebratio­n of Internatio­nal Women’s Day. Though we have previously spotlighte­d women of different walks of life making a difference on their own terms, from business to art, in recognitio­n of their achievemen­ts and independen­ce, this year we have reached out to a group of fellow gentlemen who are actively doing their part in supporting women empowermen­t and integrity, in hopes of inspiring other men to do the same in their own way. As our writer puts it, “After all, we can’t have a conversati­on about progress without half of the population, and the best way for change is to include all of us in the equation.”

Speaking of empowermen­t, we had the pleasure of discoverin­g said quality, and much more, in our latest cover star and face of Onitsuka Tiger, Hael Husaini. Speaking with the singer/songwriter reveals that despite his humble beginnings, slight frame, early criticisms and eliminatio­n from One in a Million, Hael has gracefully embraced humility and successful­ly powered on to the top with indomitabl­e drive and self-belief, from coming out second place on Akademi Fantasia to winning four consecutiv­e Anugerah Juara Lagu awards. With a following of 1.8 million on social media, Hael continues to challenge convention­al notions and develop his own distinctiv­e style.

In this issue, you will also discover the latest trends for spring/summer 2022, a special fashion editorial featuring Fadlan Hazim in the new Gucci Pineapple collection, our exclusive interview with Jonathan Bailey on the second season of Bridgerton, and more!

Enjoy
