She’s also the co-founder of Coastal Natives, which seeks to inspire new ocean lovers and conservationists.

The entrepreneur recently launched digital bank Sygnum, following in the footsteps of her father and DBS chairman Peter Seah. This issue also looks at fashion’s changing landscape, from the gender neutral narrative to the new class of couturiers breathing life into the historic craft.

For artist Dawn Ng, who is on the cover this month, capturing time has been a thread running through her practice.

Ian Ang and Alaric Choo, co-founders of Secretlab, are on the cover this month. Fresh off a brilliant year, having sold their millionth chair, the duo shares how they are growing their gaming chair company into a force to be reckoned with. While Secretlab is one of the few success stories of 2020, last year was one like no other for most people. A few of our Tatler friends share their revelations from the past year and hopes for 2021. And many of the features in the January issue are devoted to self-care—to remind us that it is essential to be mindful of our mental health.

At the same time, the legacy one chooses to leave behind is a personal one. We look at the legacies of Singapore’s traditional dance veterans who are fighting to keep their art forms alive.

High achievers invariably challenge themselves—this is a trait that describes Razer co-founder and CEO Tan Min‑Liang.

How we rise above adversity shows who we really are, and the success stories we feature in our Personal Best issue—from Singapore’s chess grandmaster Kevin Goh to the inspiring trailblazers in our Hot List—clearly illustrate that.

While great strides have been made in recent decades, gender inequality still prevails. Cover personality Ankiti Bose of near-unicorn technology platform Zilingo shares that when entering a meeting with a male colleague, most people assume she is the assistant as opposed to the head honcho. To stem the perpetuation of such a view, she suggests focusing on making more women successful—and she is doing her part by empowering women working in fashion. This issue also spotlights other successful women, including Net-a-Porter’s Elizabeth von der Goltz, novelist Cho Nam-joo and banker Tan Su Shan.

The Covid-19 pandemic has ushered in a new world order—how we live, work and play will forever be changed. The only way to emerge from this crisis—and its aftermath—is by coming together. In this spirit, all eight editions of Tatler Asia have dedicated this month’s Influence-themed issue to those who are playing their part in the fight against this invisible enemy. From billionaire inventor James Dyson’s rapid creation of the CoVent ventilator to grassroots movements supporting those on the front line, we shine the spotlight on the efforts of our communities in the region.

The term “global warming” has entered into common parlance, but the concrete steps to combat climate change are still fractured at best. That is why our cover personality and filmmaker Craig Leeson tells audiences that actions speak louder than words in his next documentary, The Last Glaciers. Also, we look at the intersection of future, technology and sustainability through the rise of alternative education models as well as find out how the local F&B scene is minimising environmental impact.

This month, Tatler has embarked on a redesign with a fresher direction and a modern sensibility that still reflects our brand’s rich history. More than just a magazine, Tatler is a community of Asia’s most powerful, influential and stylish people seeking to create a more sustainable world. Our new-look issue features a 130-page portfolio on The New Asia—individuals shaping the region through their ideas, actions and advocacies. This issue comes with three covers, featuring hospitality and lifestyle entrepreneur Wee Teng Wen, New York-based jewellery designer Lynn Ban and singer Nathan Hartono.

They say that travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. This truly resonates with Aqua Expeditions’ Francesco and Birgit Galli Zugaro, who are on the cover this month. We join them aboard their newest vessel Aqua Blu as they share their journey in life and business. In this Travel Issue, Tatler Asia editors and contributors also share tales of their adventures: chef JP McMahon waxes lyrical on the gastronomic treasures of Galway in Ireland; art patron Ivan Pun reveals the artistic heart of Yangon; and photographer Nick Bondarev captures the unspoilt beauty of Greenland.

The beginning of a brand-new decade is the perfect time to look at our health and well‑being. These topics remain a top priority for cover personality Liv Lo, founder of fitness platform FitSphere. The model-turned-entrepreneur talks about finding balance and embarking on her wellness journey. And to help you start on yours in 2020, we share the products, places and initiatives that promote wellness and mindfulness—whether it’s a destination such as Sangha Retreat by Octave Institute in China; a new line of tea that restores qi; or spaces designed with sustainability and health in mind.
