Prestige Malaysia - August 2023

In this issue

This August, Prestige talks to Florence Low Sloan, a Malaysian-born Hollywood producer pushing the boundaries to tell the untold stories (earning numerous accolades as she does so). The enigmatic storyteller opens up on what it means to break boundaries as an Asian woman in Tinseltown, defining the traits that led to success in her life and career. In this Genius Issue, we also talk to brilliant Malaysians who have made their mark at home and abroad, including author Zen Cho, My Asian Kitchen’s Dinesh Rao, and Bharatanatyam dancer Fatin Nadirah Rahmat. Additionally, Prestige brings the much-anticipated return of our annual watch supplement, Cachet, celebrating innovative horological masterpieces, trend reports and other exciting encounters from watch experts and leaders in the industry who generously share their insights.
