Transformations: The Three Winners Of The Model Of The Year Competition Takes It All

Alas, the three winners of the Men’s Folio Model Of The Year 2021 competition — Harvin, Hakiim and Hamzah — glimmer in the success of the past year with a conclusion of styles observed as precious masculine artefacts, undisturbed by even a single ripple. 

The final selections were made by rounds of judging from industry insiders — from fashion stylist and writer Allysha Nila (@allyshanila), photographer Nicole Ngai (@nicole.ngaise), our close-collaborator Jungle Lin (@junglelin), as well as Mannequin Studio (@mannequinstudio) and the Men’s Folio team. 

Harvin, the winner of the competition, will receive an exclusive contract with local modelling agency Mannequin Studio, as well as an editorial in our March 2022 issue.
