Tatler Hong Kong Magazine - November 2022

In this issue

In November’s edition, Tatler is examining the meaning of purpose, and how people find it. For our cover story, we speak to the curators of the M+ museum’s special exhibition of Yayoi Kusama’s work about the artist’s global influence and impact. Elsewhere, we meet restauranteurs across the region who have set up businesses that empower marginalised people; catch up with Canto-pop queen Janice Vidal; and add the hottest athluxury outfits to our shopping lists.
