Letter from the CEO

Ah, the warmth of the sun with all the positive energy it brings. Especially today, as the Covid-19 pandemic draws on, and being outdoors is a much-welcomed respite after prolonged time spent indoors. This spirit of positivity amid uncertainties, that we would survive and even thrive in the face of hardships, is what our cover star radiate. Many of you might have known and loved actress Dian Sastrowardoyo since her early rise to stardom as Cinta in What’s Up with Love?. Today, despite the slowdown in the movie industry, she is expanding her knowledge and roles as part of her internal journey. Discover more about her inner-growth and -beauty in Coming Full Circle.

Next up, with the same positivity to do the best with today’s situation, is Irfan Setiaputra. He assumed the position of president director and CEO of Garuda Indonesia just a few months before Covid-19 arrived in Indonesia. Although Irfan does not have it easy, I admire his strategies to keep our flag carrier flying proudly, such as using consumer-centric approaches to keep everyone safe and comfortable during flights. I would also like to thank Garuda Indonesia for its ongoing mutual support with Tatler Indonesia, which extends to our monthly magazine being one of three reading materials available within its latest Fly Garuda App. Read more about it all in the story Wind Beneath the Wings, and I hope you are as inspired as I am.

As the icing on the cupcake, we have to talk about fashion. With the summer season upon us, which means colours and lightness to play with, the options from top global and regional designers are endless. Turn over to our Wish List to see the hottest items of today from top to toe.

Without further ado, I invite all of you, our dear readers, to dive in straight away and enjoy this precious time under the sun with your loved ones.

Happy reading!.
