In this issue

September is a famously fashionable month. We're celebrating that twice over at Tatler, with the launch of our annual Asia's Most Stylish (AMS) list, and our cover star. Actor Fala Chen appears on our cover, and speaks to us about overcoming self-doubt and challenging stereotypes of Asian women in western movies. Our 2025 cohort of AMS, meanwhile, share how relationships of all descriptions factor into how they make style decisions which, in turn, shape culture and enterprise. Elsewhere in the edition we speak to 9gag founder Ray Chan about how he's applying lessons from his phenomenally successful Web2 platform to Web3; meet Aristo Sham, the first Hongkonger to win the coveted Van Cliburn International piano competition; and explore the growing interest in alcohol-free partying.
