The launch of VMAN SEA marks a pivotal moment for the men’s fashion game in Southeast Asia.
When you think of menswear and men’s fashion, chances are, athletes are among the first that come to mind. After all, the sports world and fashion world are deeply intertwined, even on a local level — just look at how the Philippines’ UAAP basketball players dress up before every match. And, the fans love to see it. And lucky for sports fans in Southeast Asia, we’re bound to see even more with VMAN coming to our shores.
VMAN, the globally acclaimed men’s fashion magazine, has recently announced the launch of their first-ever foreign edition: VMAN SEA.
As the first foreign edition of the well-known US publication, VMAN SEA is an exciting move for its Southeast Asian audiences. Leading this charge is One Mega Group, Inc. (OMGI), the Philippines’ pioneer publishing company that has published titles including MEGA Magazine, Lifestyle Asia, and The GAME, among others.
OMGI is a subsidiary of AGC Power Holdings Corp. (AGC PHC), which houses many other international titles including Vogue Philippines, Billboard Philippines, and NYLON Manila. With this, VMAN SEA is joining a team of media industry MVPs, and AGC PHC’s overall experience in localizing stories will be a huge key to the success of this new brand.
“Partnering with VMAN is a testament to One Mega Group’s commitment to put the spotlight on men’s fashion and lifestyle,” Ramon Galicia, Publisher of VMAN SEA and COO of One Mega Group reveals. “We are confident that VMAN SEA will captivate and inspire the modern Southeast Asian man with its sophisticated content and unparalleled style.”
VMAN Editor-in-Chief and Creative Director Stephen Gan, who was born in the Philippines, also shares, “We are excited to bring VMAN to Southeast Asia and to collaborate with One Mega Group, a partner that shares our vision for excellence and innovation in publishing. This launch signifies our mission to reach new audiences and provide them with the global content that VMAN is renowned for.”
VMAN SEA will maintain the values that the media brand is known for all over the world — catering to sophisticated and style-conscious men, as well as men’s fashion lovers. With this, their anticipated maiden issue will feature exclusive content with prominent figures in fashion, entertainment, and of course, sports, from all over the region.
VMAN SEA is ready to be the next top-of-mind inspiration source for the modern man in Southeast Asia.
