A boy band member on the cover of BAZAAR Man?
A boy band member on the cover of BAZAAR Man?
Not someone you would automatically associate considering we’ve had politicians, movie makers, movie artists and sportsmen on our covers before. But let’s consider this: Nick Jonas, of Jonas brothers fame, is a young who has risen out of his siblings’ shadows to become own success story—both as a singer and an actor. He has taken on difficult, controversial roles (even that of a gay character that most young, hunky Hollywood actors would shun for fear of alienating their female fan base), making a name for himself as a serious method actor. He also sings a fine tune and dances well... Really Not bad for a 23-year-old.
This issue of BAZAAR Man focuses on men passion—whether it’s about fitness, music, charity aesthetic medicine. Passion is what makes a man attractive; someone who is driven by a goal to be the best in his field. Take veteran star and director with 92 movies to his name, Antonio Banderas.
Banderas left Tinseltown for a bit to become a student again; attending lectures and perfecting his pattern-making skills at London’s Central Saint Martins in order to hone his knowledge and understanding of menswear fashion. He proves one is never too old to learn a craft—now, how sexy is that?
But back to Nick and the question of why he is on our cover: Just look at his Instagram following. Over six million adoring fans want to see his every move. All in, I think he makes a choice cover star. Plus wouldn’t you want to know the moment when Nick felt he became a man? He tells all in frank chat with BAZAAR Singapore on page 16.
Also in this issue, we explore the spring/summer trends that are hitting the runways. Fashion has relaxed a whole lot and allowed guys to breathe a little (phew!) as print, Orientalism and a little retro rock ’n’ roll have come back into the sartorial vernacular.
