HOPE ON THE MARCH
By the time you’re reading this, Indonesia has just ended – or extended – yet another period of public restrictions. On the one hand, that these restrictions were necessary in the first place is exceedingly worrying. On the other, just looking at the rate of vaccination slowly moving upwards can be quite heartening. Looking even further outward at the number of nations that have reopened their borders is similarly reassuring.
Speaking of which, for this issue’s cover, we actually did a photo shoot in the United States, with none other than Bling Empire star and producer Kelly Mi Li. Her story of success – both on- and off-screen – is certainly inspiring and enlightening. And to further this theme of positivity, we caught up with Putri Arif Febrila, one of our 40 Under 40 alumni, to learn more about her sustainability-focused business. We also have stories from the Gelang Harapan movement as told by its three co-founders, Amanda Soekasah, Janna Soekasah-Joesoef and Wulan Guritno.
Of course, besides being inspirational, we always want the content of Prestige Indonesia to be aspirational as well. And to that end, we have plenty of new updates, new highlights, new launches from the worlds of fashion, watches, travel, fine dining and more. And on that note, I invite you to enjoy our spread for this month of August. Happy reading...
