MEN'S FOLIO Malaysia Magazine - May 2025

In this issue

The theme for this issue is ‘High Shine’, with our eyes set on all things bling. It is through this theme that we find our cover star Hael Husaini accessorised in DeGem jewellery, accompanied by Superdry fits. Here, he talks about how he eschews creating for the ‘now’, and instead opts to focus on transcending time, hoping that his music will accompany the childhood of future generations. Of course, you cannot mention ‘High Shine’ without bringing up high jewellery and timepieces that focus on lavishness. Thus, our Time section for the month brings the most extravagant selections to the fore. What was once used as a display of wealth has taken on a new meaning in our contemporary world. And while it may be nice to sport some shine on your wrist or finger, what is most important is not how these beauties make you look, but how they make you feel.
