Hi,

Accomplished actor, painter, author, and one of today’s most in-demand influencers, Heart Evangelista is both a muse and an artist. Our digital cover star for this month is a social media maven with over 15 million followers on her Instagram and has been one of the most established stars in the country’s entertainment scene. One can’t help but wonder how it must, from time to time, wear her down.

Tatler sits down with Evangelista to learn more about how she continues to challenge expectations, what fuels her creativity, and why embracing her flaws is one of her powerful traits—one that she finds truly liberating, pushing her to become the person she ought to be.

The spotlight is on Kenzo, as the luxury French fashion house with an east-meets-west edge finds its latest spring/summer collection newly available to the eager Filipino market. The store’s only location, housed—and newly re-opened—in Greenbelt 3, welcomed KOLs and media personalities at a launch party held last April 12. 

Kenzo’s latest spring/summer collection, another stunning result of the brand’s east-meets-west sensibility, finally makes its way to the Philippines

We were taken on a sunset cruise at Subic port last weekend. It’s the perfect time to sail, says Tere Marcial, the president and CEO of BPI Wealth. Members of the press were invited to witness a regatta which began in November last year. Initially perceived as a mere sporting convention, the gathering eventually served a much bigger purpose: to showcase the breathtaking beauty and biodiversity of the Philippines. It wishes to do so through races in Corregidor, Busuanga, and Boracay, among others.
