In this issue

Tatler caps off the year by celebrating the champions of our time in its December 2022 issue. On the cover is Filipino-American comedian Jo Koy, who has upheld Filipino culture through his work, one joke at a time. Photographed by international photographer Filbert Kung, Jo Koy shares his not-so-easy journey to the top, his love for family and being Filipino and returning to the Philippines for the holidays.

Also, in this issue, design giants Gert Voorjans and Vincent Van Duysen get candid about their friendship and different style ethics in an interview. Style mavens Lauren Santo Domingo and Johanna Ortiz take us on a tour of the colourful and captivating city of Cartagena.

We have Drag Queen extraordinaire Manila Luzon, photographed by Junessa Rendon, as she reveals colourful details of her new music venture and speaks on helping drag break into the mainstream.

The issue will not be complete without Sandra Zobel’s Madrid travelogue, her very first article for Tatler Philippines, as well as her tribute to the notable Spanish photographer Fernando Manso.

This and more in this month’s issue of Tatler!
