Magazine Description

In this issue

In the July ’20 Bare Naked Issue, readers will get to see the magazine bearing its soul in its most naked form. Beginning the issue are three extraordinary gentlemen — Lennard Yeong, Sanjeev Shanker and Khairudin Saharom — who share their visions of building tomorrow’s world. Their ensuing conversations bring to light the pertinent issue of sustainability, especially in this sensitive time when we are forced to take hard restarts to our lifestyles. They display an unwavering spirit in the face of adversities and they ride the waves — not trends — to showcase a bare naked form of human compassion. Likewise, Willie Chan, founder of Wellaholic shares his tale of taking a career dive during his professional high, reminding us to not accept life’s laurels as excuses for not doing better. Introspection is part of the theme of being “Bare Naked” and Dr Martha Tara Lee of Eros Coaching through her gripping recounting, exemplifies how the process of introspection will help to alleviate one’s demons. Fendi creative director, Silvia Venturini Fendi and the Maison’s invited artists for Design Miami 2019, Sarah Kueng and Lovis Caputo reveal their journeys in art. Through the interviews, one will discover that their ideologies are centred on preserving craftsmanship and how making art allows for society to engage in introspective dialogues. On the fashion front, we stripped menswear into its bare essentials and we present the latest horological feats. The July ’20 issue also sees the birth of the inaugural Men’s Folio Grooming Awards that present the best products to take ultimate care of the naked skin and the panel of judges have painstakingly tried every submitted product to help readers sieve through the noise. Sensuality is not lost in this issue as Nixalina Watson of Sex & Singapore City educates us about the importance of communicating honestly with regards to our needs — in this instance, of the sexual kind — while bare skin is aplenty in the fashion spreads.
