These interesting individuals on Asia’s Most Stylish prove that great fashion exists everywhere
The diverse assembly of individuals showcased on Asia’s Most Stylish 2023 demonstrates that fashion extends beyond the confines of runways and magazines. As seen in the lives of these artists, musicians, technologists and executives, different environments allow style to manifest in a multitude of ways: an artist’s creative endeavours give rise to an inclination for experimental expressions, while childhood experiences instil a preference for the well-made. Ultimately, what emerges is a reflection of personal taste and individuality. Here’s what you can learn from this year’s best-dressed honourees.

“The most random things can be made well and I’ll just be amazed by them. I really like things that are designed well,” says Dawn Ang, the multimedia visual artist whose work spans everything from murals and installations to postcards and album art. Also known as Aeropalmics, Ang’s vibrant style—cheerful images dosed with colour—has attracted fashion and lifestyle heavyweights, leading to a very interesting portfolio that includes rabbit sculptures for Bulgari’s Chinese New Year celebration, temporary tattoos for Johnny Walker and even an NFT collection for Tatler Gen.T. The variety in her work is also seen in the way she dresses: an adopter of “all kinds of styles”, Ang is comfortable in a cosy patchwork pullover, a neon puffer vest, super baggy jean shorts and, of course, her breezy buzz cut.
