As Tatler Singapore celebrates its ruby anniversary this year, we look back on four decades of featuring prominent personalities on our covers, from past presidents and business figures, to power couples and society swans. Take a walk down memory lane and see how far we—and you—have come through the years

Since the first-ever issue in October 1982, Tatler has been the country’s leading luxury lifestyle brand showcasing how to live a life, extraordinary. Covering the latest in luxury lifestyle news, from fashion, watches and jewellery, to arts, culture and philanthropy, the magazine also offers insightful content and compelling images that demonstrate a finger on the pulse of society—whether that means to create positive impact or discover that collectable work of art.

Through the years, the now-rebranded Tatler Singapore has cultivated a robust print and online presence, putting the spotlight on Asia’s influential personalities and nurturing a community of like-minded individuals who embody the three core pillars of a more modern view of social currency: power, influence and style.
