In this issue

In our August edition, Tatler focuses on the themes of change, diversity and inclusion. Our cover story is a conversation with members of the Hong Kong Down Syndrome Association (HKDSA) about how they navigate life in the city, and with the organisation's president Victoria Tang-Owen, who talks about the support HKDSE offers people with the condition how we all can be more inclusive.
Elsewhere in the edition, we explore the environmental cost of high jewellery and watches and the challenges of ethical sourcing and production practices; sit down with Norwegian rappers Karpe who talk about representation and being artists of colour in a predominantly white country; and how the music industry is working to become improve diversity and become more welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.
