We’re marching into March 2018 with big smiles plastered on our faces. This month’s issue is joy-filled with stories about sensible individuals who believe that “even a small smile is an act of kindness and charity”. Those words, uttered by Quantedge Foundation’s Suhaimi Zainul-Abidin, are part of our feature of six C-Suite high-flyers who make it a point to give back in their own special way. Gracing our cover is the carefree mezzo soprano Seia Lee who also chooses charity by bidding at fundraising auctions.

EMBRACE CHANGE 

The beginning of Phase 2 of the post-Circuit Breaker period signals a fresh start. As we enter it with hope and some trepidation, we also bring newer and better versions of ourselves into the future. Our cover personality Lang Lang epitomises not just the best of human achievement, but also the best of reinvention. The boy wonder turned rock star of the classical music world bounced back from potentially career-ending tendinitis to a stellar comeback. He’s not just an artist at his peak now, he’s also a husband, philanthropist and mentor to gifted young musicians. On a more light-hearted note, we have captured the spirit of reinvention in various fun ways this issue. Our illustrated fashion spread lets us indulge in a little fantasy role play. Our readers show us their new hobbies, resolutions and even looks. Several luxury brands, from Chopard and Gucci to Audemars Piguet and Louis Vuitton, also bowled us over with their ingenuity, creativity and passion. We also bring to you profiles on four female artists around the world who have found acclaim in trailblazing new ideas and concepts within their practice, reviews of three beautiful resorts situated in secluded destinations within Indochina that offer privacy and safety, as well as some of Singapore’s most scrumptious gourmet deliveries.

This “Resilience” special edition is dedicated to our healthcare frontliners and those around us who exemplify this value. Beyond our graphic cover made possible by selfies contributed by friends of Prestige, are pages and pages of Covid-19-related news and stories. 

There is a Crisis Leadership feature showcasing interviews with eight captains of industry from consumer-facing sectors most impacted by the fallout from Covid-19. 

There are also 12 pages of news detailing the luxury world’s fight against the virus and their initiatives to engage the wider community, and a heartwarming #supportlocalsg story on where to go and what to buy in aid of local retail and F&B businesses. 

Beyond raising awareness of this trending topic, we also inject hope and positivity through our breathtaking journey-of-a-lifetime travel feature, our travel-themed fashion spread and a product showcase on brands that define strength and timelessness. 

Time For Gratitude

This issue, amid the turbulence in the world, we turn our attention to the good and beautiful in our lives. In particular, gratitude for what we already have. Eight friends of Prestige each wrote a heart-warming tribute to their wonderful mothers, in celebration of a most unusual Mother’s Day. Speaking of marvellous mums, our cover girl Serene Chua has to be one of them. In addition to raising three little tots, she has also built a career in private banking and dipped her toes in the F&B scene as a restaurateur in not just Singapore, but Niseko, Hokkaido. 

Across our pages this issue, there are plenty of stories that will delight the hobbyist. We speak to Robert Chua, who is a Singaporean veteran in the Hong Kong television broadcast industry, about his Chinese antiques collection. We interview James Bond’s Italian suitmaker Massimo Alba about Daniel Craig’s last outing as 007 wearing specially requested corduroy suits. We showcase the most exquisite jewellery watches and collar necklaces. We unveil the latest global trends in art collecting. We got James Suckling to highlight the best-ofs in winemaking. We travel to Egypt in search of ancient wonders. And we bring you the newest supercars that will hit our roads later in the year.

Savoir Faire takes the deserving spotlight this issue, as we celebrate the finest of artistry and craftsmanship across all luxury categories. Our cover girl, former beauty queen and soon-to-be mother of three Amanda Leong, models the latest looks from Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2020, while we line up the trendiest and most beautifully crafted bags and shoes. Exquisite moonphase watches and the most stunning 2020 timepieces showcase the extraordinary know-how of the top manufactures. On the jewellery front, Taiwanese high jewellery artist Cindy Chao shows us why her rare talent and consummate professionalism are making her the darling of critics and collectors alike. A whole slew of other exciting reads await, including a Cartier Tutti Frutti feature, a lowdown on the most promising young Chinese contemporary artists, a report on a manufacture visit to the Hermes-acquired Cristalleries Royales de Saint-Louis, F1's debut perfume collection flaunting sculptural bottles designed by Ross Lovegrove, and a test drive of the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. 

This issue, we celebrate International Women's Day by focusing on three local female leaders who have made it their life mission to empower others. They include Wee Wei Ling, Tan Su Shan and Junie Foo. Our cover girl, fashionista and society fixture Tan Min-Li, also shares her tips on indulging in the good life in Singapore and beyond. On the fashion front, we present the latest Spring/Summer 2020 trends, highlights and must-have accessories. Other features to look out for include an insider's guide to haute perfumery, the most lust-worthy stainless steel watches, and a round-up of new luxury resorts in Bhutan.

IGNITE YOUR PASSION
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, we shine the spotlight on four society couples, who share their untold and rather surprising love stories. We have also dedicated this issue to gifting, and the things that make us tick. We find out what is continuing to drive our covergirl Gillian Tan, local online content pioneer and TV producer, and her plans for the future. Our Fashion pages highlighting the latest Men’s Spring/Summer trends should also bring the gentlemen in our midst some joy and sartorial inspiration. We also showcase a whole series of features spanning the sections of Watches and Jewels, as well as Lifestyle, which explore topics of passion. They range from the fine jewellery- and watch-making, to viticulture, to the newest luxury electric cars.

The first issue of 2020 celebrates transformation. It heralds the new beginning of a refreshed Prestige, which is happy to announce a slew of exciting developments. We will place more emphasis on our friends and supporters, are dedicating individual sections for Fashion and Watches & Jewellery, and have welcomed new voices and contributors to our team. Our cover girl is fine jeweller Vihari Sheth, who is taking her family heritage to the next level. We also honour captains of industry, Wilf Blackburn and Sulian Tan-Wijaya, who are changing how we work and play. Spicing things up, and hopefully, inspiring you even more are our Egyptian-wave fashion spread, and a whole series of features dedicated to the transformative quality of the art.

In celebration of the most long-awaited festive season of the year, Prestige brings to you pages and pages of shopping ideas – from the whimsical medals of Fauré Le Page, to foolproof Christmas beauty coffrets, to Snow Queen-worthy diamond chandelier earrings, to that one versatile watch, featuring your favourite maison’s enblematic motif. We also put the spotlight on our cover personalities, Kevin and Iroshini Chua, who tell us how they work seamlessly together – as business partners in their new aesthetics clinic venture, as a married-with-children couple, and as gracious party hosts. And to help you end the year with even more merriment, James Suckling recommends the top 10 wines of 2019 that you will absolutely love.

This issue pays tribute to the pioneers, innovators, companies and personalities who dare. Individuals featured include Laurence Lien, Prestige 19th Anniversary Ball’s Patron Award winner; young social change-maker Sonia Ong; up-and-coming entrepreneur Lai Shanru; award-winning architect Yip Yuen Hong; and Raffles Hotel’s first writer-in-residence Pico Iyer. Also, we take you to Tokyo to discover Cartier’s wondrous creative heritage, and highlight the growing trend of young art collectors favouring the novel and eclectic, over blue-chip investments, 

This month, the spotlight is on change-makers doing their parts to bring about positive change in the world; leaders making in-roads in their respective industries; titans who are playing in the big leagues; and creatives who are pushing the boundaries of their art. Get acquainted with the young achievers doing great things in our 40 Under 40 list. Plus, our cover personality and winner of the inaugural Prestige Vanguard Award Lai Shanru tells us about the role she played in making cashback and e-commerce platform ShopBack such a roaring success.

What were you up to when you were 19? We posed the question to our society readers and had a good chuckle at some of their shenanigans. Guess who snuck out at night to party, who found fame as a cover girl, and who fell in love at first sight with her now-husband? Check out our "Ode To 19" feature for fond #teenagethrowback memories — a fun story we did to mark our own 19th birthday. Check out our 312-page anniversary issue, which also celebrates the best of the new AW19 season trends, and the recent dazzling high jewellery launches at Paris Couture Week. 

It's been said that eating is Singapore's favourite pastime, and this August we raise the flag on Singapore's best street food. Our society readers, informally inducted into the Prestige Supper Club, share their top late-night makan recommendations. Our mooncake round-up and feature on modern Chinese fine dining are not to be missed, although food isn’t the only thing we’re devouring this issue. We bring you a taster of all the new high jewellery collections launched recently by the world's top houses, with a special spotlight on Bvlgari's new Cinemagia collection shot in Rome with our cover girl Kazuha Kondo-Soh.

There’s much to take in this month, not least the jewels we’re fawning over – from the lovely shiny ones we’ve gathered for a fun spread, "Golden Eye", to Cartier’s stunning Magnitude collection and a brilliant teaser to Bvlgari’s dazzling Cinemagia debut. Follow our cover personality Grace Thomas as she walks you down the path of two seemingly disparate worlds of literature and fashion, then indulge the culture vulture in you with our coverage on the arts, and get inspired by our travels to Krakow, Tasmania and the Maldives for your own holiday plans. 

On our cover: Julien Royer, the chef-owner of Odette, which toppled four-year reigning champion Gaggan to take top spot as Asia’s best restaurant this year. He slices and dices the restaurant’s success formula, which boils down to hard work, mentorship, having a solid team and family support. In celebration of Father’s Day, we take a closer look at five high society dads and their darling daughters, who have no qualms about being called daddy’s girls. And for those looking to give their homes a facelift, we’ve got you covered with our Living Special, highlighting the decor trends and brands to watch.

She's the millennial CEO of B2B e-commerce startup Zilingo, a near-unicorn valued just under US$1 billion. But even today, Antiki Bose represents a minority that is women in tech. The "pathologically optimistic" go-getter also mentors and coaches women in her company and other young female entrepreneurs Zilingo works with on a near-daily basis, with the personal goal of breaking the self-devaluation belief system she sees many women having. Don't miss our Editor's Picks: We've rounded up the best wrist candy unveiled at Baselworld, as well as Spring/Summer 2019's hottest arm candy — your must-have bags. Also in this issue, Singapore high society's Yummy Mummies, with their adorable tots hot on their heels.

It's our Savoir Faire issue and on our cover is Ethan Koh, Singapore's poster boy for luxe leather goods. Bubbling over with pure passion and creative energy, this young London-based bag designer hit his success formula early on with Ethan K's handcrafted modern designs in croco, and will this year grow his brand offerings to include apparel, accessories and shoes. We then turn our gaze to the beautiful worlds of  couture, horology and jewellery, where handcraftsmanship and creativity dominate. More to whet your appetite: We catch up with Lenny Kravitz about the interiors he designed for a US$38 million New York residential development, check out some early Milan Design Week launches, and spend a languid evening at restaurant Zén with food that fires the imagination. Much more this issue — do discover, do enjoy.

This month's issue champions Empowerment, with cover girl Chelsea Scott-Blackhall sharing how she steered her own path to success, and Singapore's power women banding together to raise funds for a charity that advocates for social capitalism as an agent for change and empowerment. And of course, a run-through of the Spring/Summer 2019 trends and highlights. 

This month's Love issue turns the spotlight on family love, with our cover girls Grace and Coco Chng sharing about their deep bond over faith, fun with their wardrobes and love for jewellery. Our wanderlust takes us far and wide to South Africa, Bali, and wine country in France. At the same time, we turn the lens on the fashion world with what's new for men this Spring/Summer 2019.

New year, new reads. This month we present a spectacular selection of stories on everything you need to start 2019 right: Our cover personalities, Lucy Liu and Ryan Su, and their Unhomed Belongings exhibition with Shubigi Rao; highlights from Cruise 2019; a reflective take on the classic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak; the ascendance of Southeast Asian art; sleek wheels that will set your pulse racing; dining escapes worth the journey; and so much more. Happy 2019!

The times they are a-changin', and so are we. Here we unveil Prestige 2.0, full of refreshed reads and rejuvenated visuals. There's JOMO, Hustle and Anti/Social, new columns on getting into the minds of the elite, influential and socially connected. Our cover personality, Susanna Han, tells us how she strives to improve and challenge herself. The feature well is now The Look, with fabulous stories on putting your best forward, from face to foot. And Perspective provides plenty of food for thought. Happy reading!

The eagle has landed: We present the stellar coverage of our coming-of-age party, the 18th Prestige Anniversary Ball, featuring memorable moments from the spectacular evening. On the topic of excellence, our cover personality, Jocelyn Tjioe, reveals how she leads the charge in sustainability at Tung Lok Group. And we've packed our second Prestige Living supplement of 2018 with stories on coveted trends in interiors and design.

While we await the release of our phenomenal Ball Report in November, we keep you entertained with our spectacular reads this month: Our cover personality, Chloe Tong, gives us the inside scoop on being the pillar of support for her husband, Grab co-founder Anthony Tan. We zoom in on Autumn/Winter 2018's coolest haute couture looks, catch up with society darling and published author Paige Parker, and seek out the freshest destinations and experiences.

Happy birthday to us — and we see no better way to celebrate the phenomenal occasion of turning 18 than to spend time reminiscing with some of our dearest friends about their best memories of Prestige. We were treated to a look at mesmerising high jewellery collections launched in Paris, and covering the fabulous Autumn/Winter 2018 presentations was its own gift. Plus the sleekest timepieces, the zippiest cars, the most extraordinary destinations — aren't we just the luckiest? Cheers! 

We celebrate all things local: In between bites of char kway teow and swigs of teh tarik, flip through these pages to read about the Singapore-based trailblazers we're spotlighting in our eighth annual 40 Under 40 list, this year rebranded as The Vanguards; our cover personality, feisty fashionista and jewellery designer Lynn Ban; and the artists flying the crescent and stars far beyond our shores. And take delight in our features on VCA's Alhambra, Monsieur de Chanel timepieces, the new SUVs on the market, and more.

Serendipitously, as Singapore's property market sees changes, our cover personality, Robbie Antonio, is shaking up the world of real estate as founder and CEO of Revolution Precrafted. We also present our first Property supplement for your reading pleasure. Not forgetting our appreciation for well-engineered timepieces, we roundup the top 10 that caught our attention at Baselworld 2018. And lastly, we check in with four of society’s sport enthusiasts and pay visits to Africa and the great pyramids.

As a society title, rarely do we feature international sporting talents on our covers. But we make an exception this month for tennis star and Rolex testimonee Caroline Wozniacki. And she's not all we spoke to. We also got up close with Malaysian activist Datin Puduka Marina Mahathir, daughter of the newly re-elected Prime Minister of Malaysia, on her work. And while you're at it, remember to take a look at this month's Living supplement for home and design inspirations.

The Royal Wedding of 2018 is happening this month and if you'll be visiting the British capital during this time, we detail how to live like a queen in the city (see story, A Royal State of Mind). Serendipitously, we also present our Wedding supplement in which we suss out some of the best places and spaces to celebrate your nuptials. And of course, we have our cover story on new mummy Kim Lim. We promise this read will show you a very different side to the globetrotting heiress.

There's no denying that we're living in a digital age. So this month, we pick the brains of tech geek, Martin Geh, managing director of hardware partnerships at Google Asia-Pacific, as well as Cheryl Lee and Shirley Crystal Chua about their tech venture, Spectrum. April is also when we present our annual SIHH report on all the newest timepieces that flaunt engineering feats, making the world of haute horology ever so riveting.

Our February 2018 issue is about transformation and taking things to new heights. There is the men’s Spring/Summer 2018 trend report, a story about the rise of the Thai contemporary art scene, and a tour within the Fendi tent of Design Miami. We talk to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Deputy CEO about riding the tech wave; Maye Musk, the face of CoverGirl at aged 69, about why it’s never too late to have it all; and of course, our own cover girl, Race Wong, about her transformation from entertainer to entrepreneur.
