Tatler Philippines - August 2023

この問題で

Tatler Philippines puts a spotlight on First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos in this month's issue. Penned by contributing writer Philip Cu Unjieng, this compelling feature sheds light on the First Lady's recent initiatives and ongoing programmes and advocacies.

Not to be missed in this issue: We celebrate diversity this month with an article on Ice Seguerra and his wife, Liza Diño. We highlight the most-talked-about Juan Luna painting, Hymen, oh Hymenee. We interview six of the best chefs in the region, including Toyo’s Jordy Navarra and try to answer the question, “Can the forward-thinking spirit of innovation be the champion of tradition?” We look to the 14 fresh graduates off to the best universities, hoping to return and work for a better Philippines. Lastly, we say goodbye to a dear friend, Alex Van Hagen. You will be in our hearts forever.

Spring Memories

Jose Luzuriaga Alvarez III and Tara Lane’s love story goes beyond the initial spark of attraction. Theirs is a love that requires time to grow. “We knew each other since our high school days, but we were not friends at the time,” says Jose. “We reconnected in 2014 during summer break. I have had a crush on her ever since.”

Soulful Hues

Long walls, maze-like forming four chambers, held precious pieces of art from established and emerging artists whose artistic journeys are interconnected. In each chamber, long benches are thoughtfully positioned for viewing and soaking in the creations’ beauty. This is the approach curator Larry Ossei-Mensah is known for. This is the Sounds of Blackness.

EDITOR'S PICK

The Japanese are the original quiet luxury fans, and Tatler loves how Patek Philippe's limited-edition World Time Reference 5330G-010 Tokyo 2023 fuses innovative watchmaking with Japanese flair, breaking new ground with an automatic date display that adjusts itself backwards or forwards when the wearer switches time zones. The patented differential system turns the date hand forwards when the outer train moves and backwards when the inner train moves. The plum purple dial and midnight blue strap with contrasting plum stitching pay tribute to Japan's paired-back yet elevated aesthetic sensibilities.
