This year we present our annual list of Asia’s Most Stylish where we have a stellar and diverse cast of 19 individuals selected for their own brand of confidence. Each has a deep respect for fashion but they are no slaves to trends. When it comes to personal style, the common thread we gathered from these fashion tastemakers is that style is not about designer labels but about comfort and how you present yourself to the world—yes, even when out for grocery runs or a Zoom meeting. Dressing up or down, you can be sure they’re always put together. And when you feel good about the way you present yourself, you instinctively make choices from a more authentic place. Our interview with cover star Nalisa Amin is a lesson about…

How do you seek an answer to a question? For most of us, hitting the search button on Google is the most natural thing to do. But what if you are an entrepreneur looking for insights into an unfamiliar market? It’s a specific problem Melvin Poh faced when he was deciding on entering his first venture in Hong Kong with a friend. Not one to dive in blindly, Poh tirelessly researched online articles and reports about the local market before he committed to the endeavour. However, after just one year into the venture, the business folded. That failure cost him all of his savings at the time, and left him feeling embarrassed. “In hindsight, I should have spoken with someone who was familiar with the Hong Kong market before I…
Oktoberfest! The very mention of the word brings so many images to mind. People in lederhosen, yodelling. German sausages and sauerkraut. And of course, beer. Gallons and gallons of this foamy amber liquid, chugged from huge one-litre glasses named steins. For some people, this is the whole point of the celebration. You wouldn’t think this festival, a pillar of Bavarian culture, would be very popular with Malaysians. Many of whom, to be honest, would have trouble locating Germany on a map. Yet for a while, Oktoberfest events were highly popular here, particularly for those with a taste for beer. These events drew hordes of revellers to a bar or gathering every night. A 2012 Oktoberfest celebration at the 1Utama shopping centre in Petaling Jaya, for example, was reported to have…
The buzzword of today is ‘sustainable fashion’—a topic that initially stemmed from an actual environmental movement in 1962, when American marine biologist, author and conservationalist Rachel Carson published “Silent Spring”, a groundbreaking study that not only documented the horrifying effects of DDT, a carcinogenic pesticide harmful to both humans and fauna that ended up polluting the world’s food supply, but had also posed as a grim foreshadowing of what happens when our growing demand for ‘more’ is left unchecked. Fast forward to the 21st century, the industrial system we’ve been coasting on so far is now coming apart at the seams.
