If you notice something slightly different on our cover and the first few pages up until this one, then trust your eyes—they haven’t deceived you. I am thrilled to announce that DA MAN has undergone a revamp starting this edition. We’ve carefully crafted subtle changes throughout the magazine to ensure that our readers will enjoy a new and enhanced experience. Essentially, I envision DA MAN as a continuously evolving platform that will deliver high-quality content, enriched with beautiful imagery and a contemporary layout. For this October/November issue, we have multi-hyphenate Al Ghazali gracing the cover in an exclusive collaboration with Louis Vuitton. We catch up with the talented actor and musician as he shares insights into his latest endeavors. But, of course, that’s not all; we also have Yoshi Sudarso in a special photoshoot with Under Armour. Be sure to read his story as he has a surprise in store for his Indonesian fans.

Turning 17 is usually seen as significant transition that can profoundly influence the trajectory of a person’s life. Reaching this milestone age usually comes with a need for introspection and self-discovery, as one starts to question their beliefs and values, while exploring who they are and who they want to be. In DAMAN’s case, however, our identity and vision has been clear from the outset. Since day one, we have known who we are and what we stand for. And to be here today, as the leading men’s magazine in Indonesia feels extremely rewarding. Our journey has been defined by an unrelenting  dedication to our vision, and our continued success is testament to the passion of the people behind the title. And, of course, all of this would have been possible without our loyal readers who have been with us for so many years, all of you new readers who saw something in us, our advertising partners who continue to trust us and our creative collaborators who allow us to do our best. All of you have my sincerest gratitude.

With spirited enthusiasm, we kick off DAMAN’s  February/March 2024 edition while riding the wave of fresh beginnings that have gotten us to a rather great start this year. As we embrace this new 2024 energy, I believe that this magazine will—as always— become a canvas on which we paint stories that will define style and the essence of contemporary urban living. On the cover of this issue, we have a longtime friend of the magazine and a former winner of our annual Rising Star 
PUBLISHER’S NOTE award. It’s none other than Jefri Nichol, who is back to captivate us with his
spellbinding charisma and tales of his latest endeavors. Once again, we got the chance to sit down with the young actor as he shares about his journey so far, his aspirations and the experiences that have shaped his trajectory in the entertainment biz. Without spoiling too much, I think it’s
safe to say that Nichol’s story at the start of 2024 offers us a reminder how resilience and passion are always the driving forces behind a rising star.

Now that we’re at the midpoint of yet another year, I think it’s the perfect time to take a moment to pause and contemplate on the journey that the magazine has undertaken so far. This year brought with it a long-awaited sense of liberation, as the world finally, truly breaks free after years of restraint. Travel and events are in full swing, and as my itinerary now includes more and more collection unveilings, brand showcases and even the odd conference, I can’t help but notice a newfound air of excitement surrounding them. Most importantly, however, DA MAN is more than ready to embrace this vibrancy and eager to see the what the rest of the year will bring.

Sometimes I surprise myself when I think about how there have been quite a few notable soccer athletes who eventually gravitate towards fashion. On several occasions, we had the chance to work with English footballer-turned-model John Halls; now we see Marc Klok on the first steps of his journey into the realm of fashion and lifestyle.  And at the same time, to highlight this mingling of sports and fashion for our June/July issue, we found the perfect partner to collaborate with: Hublot, the Swiss watchmaker known not only for its art of fusion, but also for its timeless support to the world of soccer. And it’s my absolute pleasure that DA MAN can provide the space to make the magic happen.  Of course, beyond our athletically fashionable cover, we have plenty of exciting content to share with you. With summer heating up, our pages come alive with sizzling fashion spreads, packed with sun-soaked styles to inspire you throughout the season. What’s more, we have special interviews with Hollywood stars Josh Dallas—which also marks a happy reunion with the actor—and Ty Simpkins. Meanwhile, from Indonesia, the up-and-coming actor, Bara Valentino is here to share about his life’s journey.

It is with great pleasure that I present to you DA MAN magazine’s 16th anniversary issue. In a way, this edition is testament to how our magazine has thrived over the years thanks to an unwavering commitment to quality and our drive to stay ahead of the curve. As Indonesia’s only home-grown men’s English language magazine, we are dedicated to bring you the latest in fashion and lifestyle trends and worked tirelessly to ensure that our content remains fresh, engaging and informative. Of course, that’s only half of the equation. DA MAN wouldn’t be where it is today without you: Our longtime supporters, new readers, advertising partners and creative collaborators. This is as much your celebrations as it is ours.  Speaking of which, to celebrate this momentous occasion, we have two special collectible covers. The first pays tribute to four legendary Indonesian actors who have been with us from the start: Jeremy Thomas, Marcellino Lefrandt, Surya Saputra and Ferry Salim. We sat down with the four gentlemen to reminisce and see what they’re up to now. Our second features multi-talented model Miles McMillan, as we delve into the life and career of this rising star in an exclusive interview and photo spread. And from Hollywood, we have actors Asher Angel and Gabriel Luna to give us the inside scoops on their latest big projects. Plus, we have a feature on Parker Gregory, giving us an inside look into the world of modelling.  Moving forward, we aim to continue being a force of innovation and an authoritative voice in everything from the worlds of men’s fashion and lifestyle. We are definitely excited to see what the future holds and—as always—we look forward to sharing it with you. In closing, I’d like to once again thank all of you for your continued support. And with that, I invite you to turn the page and enjoy another exciting issue of DA MAN. Happy reading...

As we enter 2023, the magazine and I are thrilled to present our latest edition, which is a special, double-cover issue, no less. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the DAMAN family, I’m sure this issue has something that will suit your interests. We have none other than the global sensation Jimin from BTS and longtime friend of the magazine, British model John Halls, gracing the cover.  As one of the most influential figures in the entertainment industry, Jimin has made an incredible impact both in music and fashion. In this issue, we dive into the world of Jimin, as he takes on the role of Dior Men global ambassador after recently releasing his latest single. We explore the ways in which he has been able to break boundaries and pave his own path in the industry, and what it means for fans and aspiring artists alike. On other hand, we have exclusive interview with John Halls, a prominent male model and soon-to-be fashion designer as he prepares to launch his menswear line this year. Taking into account his unique perspective on the fashion industry, we delve into his journey and what inspired him to start his own label. Don’t miss this chance to hear from one of the hottest names and learn what it takes to make it in the industry. I hope that you enjoy reading this edition as much as we enjoyed putting it together and thank you for your continued support.

Until a few years ago, one of the definite highlights of our calendar here at DAMAN magazine was, without doubt, the annual DAMAN Party. As our signature yearly event, it celebrates everything that the magazine stands for: The spirit of “making your own style” and really owning it, recognition for the foremost talents in entertainment and fashion—rising young stars and established maestros alike. We take all these and wrap it up in an evening of stylish fun. DAMAN And after a notably long absence, DAMAN Party has returned to Jakarta’s rebounding lifestyle scene. Perhaps a bit extra late in the year—November instead of the usual May—but definitely just in time to mark the upward trajectory of the magazine, the industries and artistic fields it covers, as well as our world at large. Most importantly, however, is the underlying current of optimism that encouraged us to organize the party, sparked anticipation for the day among our readers and fans, which then culminated in the exuberance and energy that came alive that night. And above all else, I think it really shows that our resolve that has allowed DAMAN to not only survive but actually thrive in the past couple of years, was finally vindicated. So, in this issue, you can find snippets of our 15th DAMAN Party—which you can find on our social media accounts and YouTube channel as well. On top of that, we naturally have plenty of other exciting features as well, from catching up with Richard Kyle in the Land Down Under, our chat with Tony Revolori of the “Spider-Man” films and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” fame and so much more. Happy reading...

One of the main hallmarks of DA MAN is how we try to highlight Indonesia’s ever-growing talent pool, especially promising actors, up and-coming musicians and enterprising figures who are actually making a difference. This issue is a bit unique, however. Among our feature stories, we have two very talented individuals—one of them has made it big on the global stage and is now focusing back on his original fans back home, the other has also found nationwide success and is now taking on Hollywood. The former, as you’ve probably guessed from seeing this magazine’s cover, is none other than Afgansyah “Afgan” Reza. In 2021, he shook the world with his voice and became a global sensation, producing an album in New York and working together with some of the biggest names in music from the United States and even South Korea. This year, however, was dedicated to his fans in Indonesia. Afgan was once again singing in Indonesian and performing live in Indonesia. On the other hand, we have Maxime Bouttier, a rising star in Indonesia’s film industry who has just taken his career to the next level with a major role in a major Hollywood production. He’s playing opposite George Clooney and Julia Roberts, no less. I would have liked to wrap up this part of this story with the usual “it doesn’t get any better than this” line, but I do believe that Maxime would likely accomplish even greater feats in the near future. It’s always gratifying to chronicle the journey of established talents finding new ways to go higher and rising talents making genuine breakthroughs. And I hope you these stories as enjoyable to read as it was for us to write. Happy reading...

When it comes to covering the ins and outs of fashion, most media outlets would relish any chance to pick the brain of acclaimed designers and creative directors or famous photographers and stylists. Models, however, are mostly seen but not heard. While that is, to be fair, the actual job description of a professional model, I think that there are so many untold stories from these faces of fashion stories that inspire, enlighten and entertain. So, for years, DAMAN has not only teamed up with models from all across the globe to showcase the latest fashion highlights, but also to talk with them, to learn more about their line of work and the inner workings of the fashion biz, all while trying to catch glimpses of what are some pretty extraordinary lives. We used to focus these stories in or biannual DAMAN Style special editions, but for a while now, we’ve continued this tradition in our regular issues as well. And for this August/September issue, we have quite the lineup. First up, we have a longtime friend of the magazine, Aurélien Muller, who is now as much a doting father as he is a top tier model. We also have a feature story starring industry veteran Clint Mauro, who we might see quite a bit more of in the future as he is set to return to acting as well. These two gents are highlighted on our two cover variants for this issue. Yes, there are two cover versions of our August/September 2022 issue ... so, collectors please take note. Furthermore, we also have a fashion story starring yet another seasoned veteran, Arnaud Lemaire. And rounding up our lineup this time around is fitness model Nick Topel, who is also a trainer with a very unique approach to wellness. Together with these four models, we’ve managed to create an impressive visual showcase—even if I do say so myself—that is further complemented by a series of intriguing stories that are, as I mentioned earlier, seldom told.

The world, it would seem, is actually returning to a semblance of normalcy. For real, this time. We’re starting to travel a lot more, staying outdoors with extra vigilance but at least without layers of anxiety clouding our view of the world and enjoying things like going to the cinema. Making it even better, we’re right at the beginning of summer. And while it’s only officially summer in the western hemisphere, it still means an abundance of new fashion drops, movie premieres, the school holidays, etc. As such, it seems only right that for this turn-of-the season issue of DAMAN, we highlight some new, rising talents as well. Basically, new names who are stepping up their games in a big way. From Indonesia’s very own movie industry we have actor, YouTuber and soccer-enthusiast Pangeran Lantang. From Hollywood we have Gavin Casalegno whose filmography includes hit series like “I Am... Gabriel” and epic movies like “Noah.” And from the world of fashion, we have up-and-coming pro model Hunter Warr who is also gracing our cover. I think it’s not too much of a stretch to say these are stories that many of us can relate to, as they speak of new beginnings and an upward trajectory whether it’s in life or work as the world opens up in a big way. If anything,  they’re certainly make for a fun—and hopefully inspiring read along with our usual updates from the world of fashion, travel, fine dining and everything in between. So, here’s to a great summer for all of us. Happy reading...

When I took the fateful decision to enter into the world of men’s lifestyle and fashion publication, there were at least seven other titles vying for the same space and audience.Fast forward to today, a good 15 years later, and DAMAN is the last title left standing in this category. And it’s going stronger than ever. As cliched as it might sound, I couldn’t have done it without you—our partners, our loyal readers and subscribers, and everybody who believed that DAMAN has something to offer to the world. It goes without saying the road up to this point hadn’t been and easy, but I like to believe that is exactly why DAMAN has grown so much since its inception. We started out as a simple, Indonesia-based title, but we had big plans, big ambitions. We quickly set up our L.A. office and scoured the world for contributors—from New York and London, to Paris, Singapore, Sydney and beyond. Our pages have been graced by some of Indonesia’s biggest names in both entertainment and fashion, as well as the rising stars of Hollywood, world-class designers and the most celebrated models from all the four fashion capitals. Even as DAMAN’s print editions grew stronger, our presence in the digital sphere also grew. For one, our dedicated website—daman.co.id—now hosts content from the magazine as well as exclusive online features, to say nothing of the videos we produce to accompany every edition. Today, more than a third of our online traffic come from outside of Indonesia, as we share our passion and craft with an increasingly global audience.  As DAMAN settles in its “teenage” years and sets its sight to the future, I can promise you that we will continue to be a foremost voice of trends and style, on both a national and global level.

Around the end of last year, a popular joke circulating on social media was how we were about to enter “twenty twenty too” featuring reruns of all the maladies that plagued us during the first year of the crisis. And sure, while the start of 2022 had its fair share of bad news, you simply can’t help be a bit bearish about the months to come. Or perhaps tiger-ish would be not too off the mark here. With New Year’s still fresh in our memories and Valentine’s just around the corner, we’re also entering the Year of the Tiger. On that note, it’s always interesting how various international fashion, watches and even gadget brands would join in the celebrations to welcome the New Lunar Year with thematic launches. Often limited, sometimes region-exclusive, always collectible. And for this edition, we had the opportunity to collaborate with arguably the most fitting brand for the occasion: Onitsuka Tiger. So, for this issue’s cover, we partnered up with the famous Japanese fashion label and also rising Indonesian star Randy Martin—who, as it happens, was born on a year of the tiger, too. At the same time, we’ve also caught up again with American actor Conor Donnally, whom we’ve last talked to back in 2019, and sat down for achat with Travis Van Winkle from the hit Neflix series “You.” On the fashion  side of things, we have quite a treat for you, including our curated selection of key looks of the season, snippets from the last spring/ summer collection by the late great Virgil Abloh and more. And before I invite you to turn the page and begin exploring our first edition of 2022, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you—our readers and also our partners—for your continued support through these tough times, and also to wish you all the success, joy and happiness in the months to come. Happy reading…

One of the joys—or perhaps I should say one of the privileges—of running a magazine like DA MAN is the opportunity to not only meet rising talents, but also the chance to see them evolve. Afgan, one of Indonesia’s best-known singers, first appeared in our magazine back in 2015. Then, he joined nine other leading male figures and DA MAN alumni in our special 10th anniversary  issue in 2017, followed by his second solo fashion spread and interview in 2019. Now, as he reaches amazing new heights in his musical career, Afgan is  back in DA MAN. On our cover, to be exact—and dare I say, it’s high time that we featured him front and center in this magazine. In a way, he’s set the benchmark for Indonesian talent who made it beyond the borders of this country. His musical talents are now recognized by the very musicians that inspired him in the first place, and he’s found not a niche, but solid footing in aposition that allows him to reach out to a universal audience while sticking to his roots as an Indonesian music icon. That we could partner up with Dior for this issue’s cover makes it that more special. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper end-of-year edition of DA MAN without our usual spread of celebrity and fashion features. And even if I do say so myself, I’m confident that this issue doesn’t disappoint. From Hollywood we have exclusive interviews with Chris Diamantopoulos from the recent Netflix hit “Red Notice” and Ezekiel Goodman with stories about the latest adaptation of “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” We also have our usual convos with some of the best models in the industry, namely Arthur Sales and Ellis McCreadie, along with a number of inspirational—and aspirational— fashion features. And in closing, as I invite you to flip through the pages of this issue of DA MAN, I would also like to wish all of you happy holidays and a most joyful new year. 

While we were wrapping up this issue of DA MAN, awards season started. It was certainly exciting to see the Met Gala return to its former offline glory, along with the 2021 Emmy Awards, the opening gala for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the Tony Awards, the MTV VMAs and the various international film festivals. As always, a big draw of those events is the red-carpet appearances, where what is worn can be just as important as who wears it. In short: The return of red-carpet events is a big win for fashion. As it so happens, our October/November 2021 edition also sees an  uptick of fashion features. We have our usual lineup of celebrities, of course, including the multi-talented Reeve Carney gracing our cover, Max Osinski with tales from “The Walking Dead” franchise, Jerome Kurnia representing local talent and more. But we have notably fashion spreads than our most recent issues, from a round-up of the season’s key looks to an exclusive presentation of Dior and Sacai’s collaborative collection. The fashion industry was one of the earliest to fully embrace the potential of digital platforms to work around the limitations we face today. But there’s only so much you can take away from a virtual fashion show or touring a virtual boutique. Working once again on rounding-up the best red carpet looks—please head over to our website and social media channels to see our top picks—and editing fashion shoots has given us a more palpable clue of the resurgence of fashion. And, hopefully, this is also a sign of an eventual return to normalcy. In the meantime, however, we invite you to go through our take on fashion’s return, as well as our regular features covering everything from travel and watches, to grooming and film. Happy reading...

The past couple of months has been, let’s just say, eventful. And the scope 
of happenings that have defined this time period has been astonishing, to 
say the least. At one end of the spectrum, we have local lockdowns that 
have been extended multiple times, at the other we have the festivities and 
excitement of the Tokyo Olympics.

But perhaps it’s what’s in between that’s most encouraging. More and 
more people are getting vaccinated, countries—not all, but quite a few—are 
reopening their borders to travelers and in places where things have begun 
heading towards normalcy, offline events are starting to pop up here and 
there. Case in point: Our annual DA MAN Party resurfaces in Chicago. You 
can find glimpses of the celebrations in our similarly just-reopened Guest 
Book section.

Of course, the rest of the magazine is no less celebratory, as we delve 
into the happier side of life with a longtime friend of the magazine for this 
issue’s cover: Richard Kyle. This time he appears in a special collaborative 
fashion shoot with Louis Vuitton and shares inspiring stories from his 
professional and philanthropic adventures. 

We’re also delighted to share with you our discussion with American 
actor Rushi Kota about representation, a chat with model-turned-actorand-recently-certified-personal-trainer Jon 
Herrmann, as well as three exclusive fashion 
features along with our usual menu of updates 
from the worlds of style, watches, travel and 
dining, and so much more. Happy reading..

Throughout the years, the DA MAN team has featured new and established stars from Hollywood, fresh talents and senior performers from Indonesia’s own movie industry, along with a slew of fashion designers, creative directors and other artistic headliners from the world of fashion. But one thing that I think sets this publication apart, is the appreciation we reserve for the models that appear in everything from our fashion spreads, watch highlights and even grooming stories.

Throughout the past 12 months or so, it has been really interesting to see how the fashion world coped with the challenges of a worldwide health crisis. In particular, it was both enlightening and encouraging to see how fast and how far the industry adapted. From luxury brands shifting their manufacturing capacities towards PPE production to creative directors arranging virtual runway shows with mind-blowing aesthetics or, on the flip side, crafting garments that resound with our newfound love for comfortable clothing.

First and foremost, I would like to wish you, our dear readers, a happy, prosperous and—perhaps most importantly—a hopeful 2021. It goes without saying that last year was hard for everyone, and all we could think of was how to survive, how to keep going. Today, I would say that many of us have started building up the courage to hope for—and to explore—new things.

While wrapping up this issue of DAMAN, I couldn’t help but look back at our journey for the past year. It would be an understatement to say that 2020 was challenging. I would like to think, however, that we managed to meet the challenges that came our way. And we even rose to the occasion when new opportunities arose. Case in point: Our continued collaboration with OPPO, which began in our previous October/November 2020 issue, to bring you fashion magazine-quality images, taken by a smartphone camera.

Last year, DAMAN collaborated for the first time with OPPO to create a fashion spread—a proper, professional fashion photoshoot—shot entirely with a smartphone camera. We used the then brand new OPPO Reno 10x Zoom. Naturally, we had our concerns as the project began in earnest, but the resulting images were simply incredible. If no one told you that it was shot using a phone, you wouldn’t have guessed it was.

The world is, arguably, not yet “back on track.” But for sure, DAMAN is back. We’ve never been completely gone, of course, and we’ve actually expanded quite a bit online; but more on that later. For now, you have in your hands a bona fide printed issue of DAMAN, and you can expect much of the same for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. Speaking of coming back, in this issue we’re also welcoming back a familiar face for our cover. Tom Ellis of “Lucifer” fame is here to share new insight into his popular TV series along with stories from his life during quarantine and his views on current events. Also sharing his worldview is American actor Nolan Gould. Other than that, we have stories from Henry Zaga who is set in the highly-anticipated superhero flick “The New Mutants,” news anchor Rory Asyari and—in what might become a regular feature in the magazine—acclaimed Filipino photographer Lope Navo. And plenty of other exciting stories and our usual helping of fashion photography in the pages to come.

Optimism in the face of adversity has always been one of humanity’s most powerful traits. And as the world faces one of the worst pandemics in ages, it is a good time to maintain a healthy amount of optimism. This storm, too, shall pass. In the meantime, we simply have to learn to cope. For instance, Scottish actor Sam Heughan, this issue’s cover boy, is currently stuck in the U.S., but remains busy juggling various projects. Shawn Hatosy of “Animal Kingdom” fame is also living through the lockdown of Los Angeles while Yoson An who stars in the live-action of adaptation of “Mulan” must contend with the fact that his big Hollywood breakout has been postponed for a while.

Not two months ago, Giorgio Armani held his runway show at Milan Fashion Week and was met with silence. The show was held at an empty theater as Italy faced the largest outbreak of the coronavirus outside of Asia. 
Spring has always been a season of exuberance and bright colors, especially in the world of fashion. It goes without saying that this year’s spring/summer season has been overshadowed by the global epidemic  we’re facing. And it is only right that we substitute our enthusiasm for vigilance at this time.

For our first proper issue published in 2020, we have some incredible stories. Naoki Kobayashi, who graces the cover of this issue, has recently broken into the global movie industry. We also have an interview with Camrus Johnson from the “Batwoman” TV series and, on the home front, we’re touching base again with seasoned actor and all-around gentleman Rio Dewanto. 

In a surprising twist, what really resonated with me was chat talk with Santiago Carbrera about his involvement in “Star Trek: Picard.” So, here we have a well-established setting with a very familiar premise, an incredibly loyal fanbase and top-notch talent. Yet, as Carbrera pointed out, the new show is “a true departure and new beginning in so many ways.” In a way, it boldly goes where no “Star Trek” show has gone before.

Some of you might still remember how in 2006, Time magazine’s Person of the Year was “you.” The idea was to recognize all of the people who contributed user-generated content—often anonymously—to platform like YouTube, Wikipedia and so on. That idea feels relevant again as I ponder the end of another new year. Essentially, DAMAN is about you.

You, the actors, actresses and artists who felt that DAMAN could tell your story. And also you, the models and photographers who chose DAMAN to showcase your talent. Then there’s you, our business partners who believed in the potential and capacity of this magazine then told us “Let’s work together!” And finally there’s you, our readers—old fans, returning devotees and new patrons—for whom these pages are dedicated.

The phrase “we couldn’t have done it without you” has become somewhat of a cliché, but for us at DAMAN, it has always rung true. Print media has always been a challenging arena, and it gets more challenging each year. But it is always heartening to see that there are still so many who enjoy flipping through physical pages to be inspired, motivated and entertained. We fully embrace the digital age, but creating print magazines is still what we do best.

Good movies tell the stories the audience wants to see. Great movies tell the stories the audience needs to see. In this issue of DAMAN, we feature the stories of Laura Basuki and Dion Wiyoko, the two leads of the upcoming “Susi Susanti: Love All.” Is this a great movie? I’m sure that there will be plenty of arguments for and against, but if anything I do believe that this is a movie telling a story that needs to be told.

For those of us who grew up seeing Indonesia win its first ever gold medal, Susi Susanti and Alan Budikusuma are heroes—real-life, relatable heroes who basically told us that no achievement is beyond us. So, their story is something we definitely want to see. “Susi Susanti: Love All,” however, is not your typical “underdog becomes world champion” story, as it touches on many issues that may strike a chord with many of us: Tolerance, acceptance, how we treat the ones we call our nation’s heroes. And sacrifice. This is a story that we definitely need to see.

Travel, they say, opens your eyes to the wonders of the world and the diversity that it contains. But, like many other ardent travelers, I’ve also found that travel gives you a fresh perspective of home. I consider it my mission of sorts to introduce the marvels of Indonesia to the people I meet in my journeys. And I wholeheartedly believe that I am able to do so since whenever I discover a new place to visit, I also find a new angle to look back at my home. This fundamental idea also drives DAMAN’s mission to highlight actors, celebrities and public figures. We go far and wide to speak to some of the most celebrated people in show biz and at the same time we take what we’ve learned from Hollywood and beyond to look back at how far our own artists have moved forward. As a local magazine with a global reach, we feel that it’s only right that we bring attention to Indonesian talent. On a more personal level, I find it heartening to see how we’re slowly but surely moving forward. And, more importantly, how we sometimes make huge leaps forward.

Every May, while preparing DAMAN’s June/July issue, I will always set aside a day or two to go over the photos taken during the year’s DAMAN Party. In this case, the twelfth. I always find it an uplifting experience to relive the event from a fresh perspective. It’s also uplifting to see a new format—a new tradition, if you will—really taking root and becoming a celebrated part of the magazine. 

I am talking, of course, about the Awards portion of the DAMAN Party experience. Introduced last year, it proved to be quite popular among guests and fans of the magazine. Award ceremonies are always exciting, but being able to be the one to say to an artist, “Hey, your work has really inspired a lot of people and we want to thank you for that” feels great. DAMAN has always celebrated talented people—and being able to take it a step further is a true privilege.

Shoot for the moon, wrote American author Norman Vincent Peale, even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. About this time, twelve years ago, I shot for the moon and DAMAN was born. The question, then, is whether the magazine did reach the moon or whether it is now among the stars. 

In a way, I think it did both, even if I do say so myself. DAMAN has now become the foremost men’s fashion and lifestyle magazine in Indonesia, and it has accomplished this as an original, homegrown brand. But at the same time, I can’t help but feel that DAMAN has also landed among the stars and grown far beyond what I originally envisioned. We’ve added the Style and Caliber special issues to our lineup; we’ve moved forward by leaps and bounds in terms of digital content; we’ve expanded our video creation capabilities to include campaigns for brand ... and that’s just in terms of content and media. Development of DAMAN’s event organizing portfolio is a whole other story.
