GQ Philippines debuts under Condé Nast and MEGA Global Licensing, spotlighting Filipino creativity and redefining modern masculinity through fashion, culture, and storytelling.
Founded in New York City in 1931, GQ has long been a trusted authority in men’s fashion, culture, and luxury, known for its iconic covers, unforgettable profiles, and of course, its legendary “Men of the Year”—a major cultural event across all GQ markets. Now, the global brand officially plants its flag in the Philippines under license from Condé Nast, brought to life by MEGA Global Licensing, Inc. (MGLI). “The launch of GQ Philippines marks a bold new era for men’s media in our country,” says Archie G. Carrasco, Publisher of GQ Philippines. “This edition will celebrate Filipino creativity and connect the modern Filipino gentleman to the world’s stage—redefining style, influence, and the power of Filipino identity worldwide.”
