Tatler Asia joins in that celebration with the announcement of its highly anticipated Asia's Most Stylish list. This much-awaited annual event, which has been a beacon of style and originality for over 15 years, is more than just a roll call of well-dressed individuals. It recognises those who embody bold self-expression, creativity and the fearless pursuit of style.

With an exclusive event on September 5, Tatler celebrated 11 Filipino icons who transcend boundaries and utilise fashion as a force for change. This was a gathering of the fashion elite, a select group of individuals who are tastemakers, never afraid to push the envelope and show us what style means,” said Tatler Philippines’ Managing Director Irene Martel Francisco in her welcoming words.

Tatler Philippines’ Editor-in-Chief Anton San Diego highlighted the cultural resonance of the honour: “Asia’s Most Stylish honourees exemplify how style can reflect culture, influence and personal expression across our vibrant region.”

Ayala Corporation Executive Director and Ayala Land Senior Vice President Mariana Zobel de Ayala followed, affirming Greenbelt's role as a cultural hub: "Greenbelt is more than just a shopping destination—it is a space where Filipino talent can thrive and shine alongside the world's most iconic luxury houses."
