Definitive Men’s Fashion Magazine VMAN to Launch in Southeast Asia, Partners with OMGI

Renowned men’s fashion magazine VMAN is launching its first edition outside of the U.S. with VMAN SEA, in partnership with One Mega Group, Inc. (OMGI).

VMAN SEA will focus on the dynamic and growing market of Southeast Asia, targeting the region’s sophisticated and style-conscious men and men’s fashion enthusiasts. According to Statista, the Southeast Asian Apparel market is projected to generate a revenue of $51.37 billion in 2024 and have an annual growth rate of 3.39%.

The strategic partnership between OMGI, the Philippines’ pioneer publishing company with three decades of experience, and VMAN targets to deliver a publication that is able to curate global menswear trends while incorporating local flavor and insights, making it uniquely relevant to its audience. 

OMGI is a subsidiary of AGC Power Holdings Corp., (AGC PHC) the Philippines’ fastest-growing media company which also houses under its wing other international media brands such as Vogue Philippines, Billboard Philippines, and NYLON Manila. AGC PHC’s overall expertise in localizing stories will be integral to VMAN SEA’s successful integration and resonance with its Southeast Asian readers. 

“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, said. “We are confident that VMAN SEA will captivate and inspire the modern Southeast Asian man with its sophisticated content and unparalleled style.” 

Philippines-born VMAN Editor-in-Chief and Creative Director Stephen Gan shared, “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.”
