In this issue

A milestone for Asia Tatler's history as all eight editions (Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, China, and the Philippines) carry the same cover -- Yuri and Julia Milner, a philanthropist couple on a mission to lead scientific research on anything and everything about space.

Both born in Russia, the couple are the founders of Breakthrough Prize, considered as the "Oscars of Science", together with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, Google's Sergey Brin, and 23andMe's Anne Wojcicki. Their quest is to find an answer to the universal question: Is there life beyond our planet?

This month serves as our second Fashion Issue of the year. We lead off with the men’s and women’s international runway collections for f/w 2018. Then check out the outstanding photography by our favourite LA-based lensman, Eric Michael Roy; an exclusive on the latest Givenchy collection; PJ Pascual’s New York fashion week reportage; and a spectacular style spread with IT girl/actress/wife/style icon Heart Evangelista who models jewellery, watches, and make-up all in one.

In our Life Section, fashion is still on our minds because of the beautiful home of fashion legend Tommy Hilfiger. Other interesting reads include: the unique local flavours of ARC, the country’s first craft gin; the launch of Latina Manila, the first ever collaboration of esteemed wallpaper maker de Gournay and Filipino designer Jonathan Matti; the amazing drive in Las Vegas of our Motoring Editor James Deakin in the latest Corvette; and the revival of the auction house of Finale Art File.
