The result is a dynamic portfolio: see the pixie face of actress Hsieh Ying-xuan engulfed by a chubby blue blouson; the sneaker-clad foot of six-year-old Skylar Raymond-Foo balancing atop a retro TV;  or the ultra-stacked boots that lift Parisian model Suzi de Givenchy to dizzying heights.

Tatler editors and executives have handpicked a wide range of fashion lovers, each of whom experiences and exhibits style in different ways. The list presents The Collectors, who are known for their taste in curating fashion objects; The Bestsellers, who have become the conduits of style through independent shops or concept boutiques; The Creatives, who are the talented makers of fashion itself and the visuals of the moment; and The Bridges, who connect different communities and identify upcoming talent.

In the Philippines, movie star, singer and entrepreneur Anne Curtis represents The Front Row, the beautiful creatures who are always top of mind in fashion. In Hong Kong, illustrator Andrew Mok, whose signature headphone accessories piqued the interest of Pharrell, is part of The Ingenues, the next generation of style stars defining the new cool. And in Taiwan, sustainability hero Steven Ko, the CEO of beauty company O’Right, is named under The Galanistas, the scenemakers who champion original style. 

Rounding out the list are The Rebels, the breakers of stereotypes and champions of diversity; The Avante Garde, the innovators who marry style and technology; and The Icons, the individuals whose good taste never goes out of fashion.

Style is also a family affair as seen in Singapore, where the Leo family—father Lionel, mother Tina and twins Julien and Brandon—are all named to Asia’s Most Stylish. Founders of music collective Frshoff, the twins have soaked up style in a free-to-create household and now apply their artistic sensibilities to what they wear. 

In Malaysia, brothers Trunan and Terimunite Chandran emulate their father, the fashion designer and style icon Bernard Chandran, as they explore all facets of dressing through personal jewellery, hats and eyewear. Similarly, Bryan Loo and Sally Quah, the husband-and-wife duo behind bubble tea giant Tealive, share a passion for collecting sumptuous pieces—for him, watches and her, whimsical minaudières—to complete their creative identity. 

Style is for everyone to enjoy. Let the bright lights of Asia’s Most Stylish lead this month’s celebration. Never miss a moment: Connect with Tatler on our social media channels across the region to view exclusive content from this year’s honourees.
