Tatler Philippines - September 2023

In this issue

Our September issue features our much-awaited Asia’s Most Stylish (AMS). On the cover is a woman who needs no introduction. Anne Curtis, whose career spans over 25 years, is a movie, style and social media icon. She has become the benchmark and the definition of a superstar today.

Nine others joined Anne for this year’s Most Stylish; I would like to thank our two photographers who helped make it happen: Wesley Villarica and Patrick Diokno. The Philippines’ picks join the rest of Tatler Asia’s runway-ready, originals, avant-garde and trendsetters.

Tatler ASIA'S MOST STYLISH

Every year, Tatler Philippines pays tribute to some of the country’s best dressed. Espousing the virtues of their own unique styles, these exemplary men and women are staples in society events; they hold everyone in anticipation at what they will wear and are trendsetters by their own right. Though they come from a variety of backgrounds, they manage to share a few things in common: confidence and creativity. They carry these traits well and manage to catch the eye of almost everyone they come across. Not one to follow fads, each of Asia’s Most Stylish has curated his or her own look that is theirs to own. This month, Tatler Philippines explores their unique sartorial choices—from the relaxed to the classic, to the feminine and gender-bending—that make them truly stand out
