Tatler Philippines - September 2019

I denne utgaven

This month, we celebrate our 18th anniversary with a stellar issue, starting with our cover subjects, Maricris Zobel and her equally lovely daughters and adorable grandchildren. Seeing her evolve into the woman that she is—filled with faith and love—makes her
even more beautiful.

We celebrate this month with the Cultural Centre of the Philippines as it turns 50. Get to know the past and current chairmen and presidents of the company and their insights and vision for the venerable institution of arts and culture.

One of our favourite interior designers, Gert Voorjans, returns to our pages as he shares another amazing work. A good friend, the celebrated author Kevin Kwan, tells us what he’s doing after the success of Crazy Rich Asians, the sequel scheduled to start filming by the end of the year, and two TV series coming up. Lastly, we give you 18 pages of amazing visuals from the last 18 years. Looking back, we can’t help but beam with pride for having stayed our course and producing some of the most arresting images and stories. Take a walk back and recall what went on in some of the shoots.
