A new men's fashion magazine from the Middle East is taking over the market – H MAGAZINE. The cover spread presents super model Jarrod Scott, who was photographed by An Le from New York. The quarterly magazine is available in London, Paris, Milan, New York and Los Angeles. Behind the magazine is Hassan Al-Saleh, Founder & Editor in Chief, who was responsible for L'Officiel Hommes Middle East also as Editor in Chief.
That there is a bit of magic in every new start is explained by Hassan in the introduction to the new issue: "New beginnings are never easy. Whether by choice, chance or circumstance, we need to muster the courage to rise to the challenge and fight the fear and anxiety of the unknown. It is the end of a chapter and the start of a new one. It allows us to re-evaluate the past but also envision the future and the infinite possibilities it offers to find a greater sense of understanding of one’s self and the world around us..."
What does H MAGAZINE stand for? "H MAGAZINE is the first international men’s fashion magazine from the Middle East and the voice of a progressive generation of freethinkers and creative spirits. The name is an abbreviation for "homme", "him", "his", "huwa" (in Arabic) and is designed for the reader to interpret the meaning, just how fashion is a personal interpretation of various influences and inspirations. The magazine celebrates and showcases a new era in menswear and fashion’s transformative ability to permeate culture, art, music, film, architecture and beyond. It also acts as an international platform that promotes high-caliber talent from the Arab world.
Visually-driven, original, and culturally astute. Each issue is a collectable, a snapshot of its time, with inspiring and arresting visual storytelling accompanied by intelligent reportage, critical analysis, and insightful narratives through the vantage points of the most influential designers, artists, luxury brands, international tastemakers, and style icons. It’s a chronicle of what’s relevant and important at the present moment.
H MAGAZINE’s innovative format of English and Arabic combined in one issue features two covers front and back; English from left to right and Arabic from right to left with different imagery for each article in each language that connect as a visual storyboard. The magazine is produced quarterly every March, June, September and December by indie-publisher MODE INTERNATIONAL based in Muscat, Oman with global distribution of 25,000 copies across the Middle East in addition to key opinion-forming cities around the world including London, Paris, Milan, New York, and Los Angeles."
