Tatler Hong Kong - September 2023

في هذه القضية

September is our style edition: it's fashion season, and this month we celebrate fashion, design and sartorial excellence. On the cover is model-turned-actress Louise Wong, whose film debut was with the role of another style icon, Anita Mui, and who has become a favourite of luxury brands and frequent frow attendee. Wong is also on the 2023 Tatler's
Asia's Most Stylish list; the complete line-up of honourees also appear in the magazine.
Elsewhere in the issue, we highlight some up-and-coming fashion designers from across Asia, and explore what gender-fluid fashion means from an Asian perspective; speak to artist Jono Toh about what inspires his bold and beautiful paintings; and, with the advent of the sophomore Frieze Seoul art fair, highlight some top shows, artists and eateries to explore in the city.
