In this issue

In the blink of an eye, half of this year has whizzed by swiftly. The world itself is a much-changed place as countries slowly emerge from their toils against the Covid-19 pandemic, including Indonesia. The new normal not only means a cautious crowd weary of the unseen virus, but also a persevering people is ready to begin anew. Self-care beyond bodily health and hygiene comes to the forefront as staying mostly at home for a prolonged time highlights the importance of mental health.

Kelly Tandiono, our fit and fantastic cover muse, is the example of a strong soul inside and out. As a fitness fanatic, her love for sports takes on a new meaning as Tandiono finds motivations and strength throughout the day. Although the fashion and movie industries she’s working in as a model and actress are impacted, this leading lady is not slowing down and looks ahead with confidence. See for yourself what she’s up to in our cover story, “Scent of a Woman”.

Besides Tandiono’s, we also serve a colourful myriad of stories all about those who are reaching their highs, which is a fun yet competitive case when it comes to esports. Turn over to “Revenge of the Nerds” and see how competitive gaming is gaining recognition in Asia and beyond with big brands chiming in. Similarly overcoming adversities in all its shapes and forms, we feature two more high-achieving Indonesians in the monthly “Tat-

ler Hot List” together with other inspiring figures from around the region.

Last but not least, for the fashion people, reading Tatler Indonesia at home while flattening the curve means beautiful visuals on the latest fashion and beauty trends. As always, our July issue is packed with curated choices from makeup to watches, jewellery and anything in between to ensure everyone is looking their best while working from home. I hope that all of you, dear readers, are staying beautiful, healthy and productive in the face of the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic. See you at the top, and happy reading!
