Esquire Singapore

After winning three Media Publishing Association awards in 2013 and eleven in 2014, Esquire continues to be regarded as a beacon of excellent journalism in Asia with fifteen wins in 2015. We have no idea where we kept the awards, though. Founded in September 2012, the local edition is produced by a crop of respectable writers, photographers, illustrators and collaborators. Known for its powerful storytelling and ground-breaking photography, delivered in its signature wit, Esquire continues to steward men to their best in Singapore and beyond. The birth of Esquire dates back as far as 1933 in the States and since then, the title is known for pushing boundaries with literary giants such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Norman Mailer finding their voice with the magazine.

INSIGHT: ASIA IN TIMES OF CONFLICT • As Ukraine continues to fight for sovereignty against a determined Russia and trepidations of a possible World War III loom, new questions arise. What role does Singapore, and more widely Asia, have in influencing the state of global affairs today? How much, if anything, can we contribute to the political landscape? How will the events unfolding in Europe penetrate through to impact the East? Why do some wars get treated as frontline news, whereas others seem to come and go from the headlines? Celebrated author, academic and multi-awardwinning geopolitical expert Dr. Parag Khanna answers.

WAR IN MY WORDS

THE UNCONVENTIONAL CHEF? GAGGAN ANAND DOESN’T THINK SO. • From rockstar creative to opinionated culinary mogul to being labelled as the bad-boy rebel of Indian cuisine, Gaggan Anand has never been one to shy away from the limelight.
