The fashion industry has been exploring the idea of masculinity for decades. Its definition, interpretations and connotations continue to fascinate. It only seemed apt then that we would attempt to elucidate a nuanced perspective of our own.

Enter: Vogue Man, a special edition of our magazine first launched in 2023, putting the spotlight on some of the most prominent male changemakers in the spaces of fashion, wellness and lifestyle. Just last week, we celebrated our second-ever edition of Vogue Man, released in tandem with our July/August issue. Titled ‘Thrive’ and fronted by Oscar-winning actor, musician and producer Riz Ahmed , Vogue Singapore threw a celebratory bash in its name—and it was a night to remember.

We welcomed the city’s most stylish folk to the intimate rooftop address of HighHouse , which was certainly the place to be. With its plush, modern interiors and booming sound system, the destination has cemented its station as a formidable nightlife mecca in Singapore. Amid considered moments of artful flair and a stunning bar facade, there was simply no better venue for Vogue Man to celebrate its second edition.

Guests included Vogue Singapore’s contributors past and present, cherished industry friends of the magazine and a notable fleet of the zeitgeist’s most prominent voices. As they arrived in succession, we were treated to a visual feast of some stellar style moments—which we clocked for our best-dressed awards to be unveiled later in the evenin.
