Asia’s Most Stylish 2024 also highlights fashion as a profound medium for self-expression, allowing individuals to communicate their identity, emotion or perspective without a word.
Seeing style as a way “to speak to the world”, Malaysian fashion entrepreneur Hadri Hashim creates a visual narrative with pieces that reflect his journey, values and creativity. Similarly, the Philippines’ Trickie Lopa builds on her multifaceted role in the art world by curating a wardrobe filled with, for example, a gargantuan grey suit or a deconstructed white dress reminiscent of a painter’s canvas.

In Taiwan, performance artist Chang Yee proves the transformative power of fashion as he embodies male and female personas: a gentleman in a suit one day and a blonde vixen wrapped in furs the next. And in Singapore, Ong Bee Yan, the 68-year-old model who believes that fashion is “a way of showing your uniqueness and personality”, celebrates her age and everything that it brings, including the silver hair that she wears with pride.
This year, Asia’s Most Stylish reminds us that fashion is not just about what we wear, but about who we can be. Discover the full list here.
