	<description>GIANT is the online extension of the GIANT magazine. Our mission is to cover "celebrity, style and culture" from a multi-cultural or urban perspective. Music, film, fashion, sports, business and art/design are our territory. We cater to an audience who grew up on hip hop and urban music but are now more sophisticated and worldly professionals. Lifestyle and culture are the backbone of GIANT.</description>
