Spearheaded by Ardi Idewani, managing editor of both ELLE and ELLE Men Malaysia, the new launch reflects an evolving masculine identity—one that embraces style, self-expression, and substance. “The growing awareness and appreciation of fashion, lifestyle, and culture have undoubtedly affected the tastes and aspirations of the modern man,” Idewani shares. “ELLE Men Malaysia is committed to evolving alongside these global developments.”
Rooted in five core editorial pillars—Fashion, Grooming, Accessories & Horology, Lifestyle, and Features—the title offers everything from trend-driven fashion editorials to profiles of tastemakers shaping contemporary culture. Think bold watches, minimalist skincare, and deep-dive interviews, all delivered with ELLE’s signature polish.

For Sarah Hani Jamil, editor-in-chief of ELLE Malaysia, the launch is a natural progression: “Malaysia is home to so many incredible male talents, and it’s time they’re given the same spotlight and representation we’ve long shone on women at ELLE.”
The move also signals ELLE’s ambition to push the boundaries of its 360° brand presence in Malaysia. François Coruzzi, CEO of ELLE International Licenses, affirms, “I am confident that ELLE’s universal values, unique point of view, and highest standards of journalism will continue to inspire and resonate with men in Malaysia.”
Available at major bookstores, select newsstands, and across leading digital platforms, ELLE Men Malaysia is poised to become the definitive lifestyle authority for a new generation.
