The Men’s Folio Throwback — Our Yearly Portfolio Review

  • By Men's Folio

 

 
A lot can happen in 22 years — mobile phones have suddenly became smarter than us, we’re decided that bum bags are cool again and the Canadian tuxedo is back. On our end, we’re celebrating our 22 years in business and our focus hasn’t changed since day one (make sure you’re updated weekly here) but that doesn’t mean we’re any less boring — we’re still bringing you the best of fashion, grooming, timepieces and lifestyle despite our changes to the look and feel of the title. Are we still the same magazine that promotes the who’s who of the fashion and entertainment landscape? Are we still championing men of different races and faces? Are we still the go-to title to find out the latest news?  

The answer is yes, yes, and duh. In commemoration of our 22nd anniversary in October, here’s what happened in the past year — we’re still doing what we do but yes, we’re doing it even better.
