Tatler Hong Kong - February 2024

Bu konuda

Football fever has swept Hong Kong, as the city prepares for the arrival of Inter Miami, the team co-owned by legendary player David Beckham, who will face a team of local players on February 4. We look at the meteoric rise of the American team, as well as the impressive achievements of the local side set to face titans including Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Elsewhere in the edition, we speak to designer Andreas Kronthaler about sustainable fashion and the influence of his wife, the late, great Vivienne Westwood; delve into the importance of jade to Asian cultures in the lead-up to the Lunar New Year; and, ahead of Valentine's Day, ask leading interior design experts how they create romance at the world's most luxurious hotels.
