Lifestyle Asia presents its Art Issue this September, recognizing our artists whose creations have uplifted and inspired their fellow Filipinos and a global audience. Cover girl Mai Mai Cojuangco represents exactly this–a Filipina residing in Florence while juggling her roles as entrepreneur, designer, and mother. In this issue she shares how she is raising her daughter and innovating her brand while remaining steadfast on her Filipino roots. Some of the artists featured in the issue include Len Cabili and her Filip + Inna collection, Carlo Calma as artist and architect, author Lissa de Guia who narrates the story behind her new book, and the trailblazers behind Hapag who have demonstrated what innovative Filipino cuisine looks like. Cheers to the creators who add color, joy, depth, and flavor to our lives!
