#21 2nd Anniversary

We hear much about her, but there’s still little we know about the gorgeous Arissa Cheo, the popular socialite and wife of Taiwanese singer Vanness Wu. Here, she opens up about her so-called charmed life, her business venture, Carte Blanche X, and how, really, she just wants to be defined in her own terms. Our Anniversary issue also comes with two exciting exclusives – Zoë Kravitz behind the scenes at the Chanel Paris-Dallas show, and Proenza Schouler’s venture into the makeup world with an M.A.C. collab. Also, we talk to Singapore’s “godfather of hip-hop”, Sheikh Haikel, about his new music school; give you a tour of the new lights in our NYLON Singapore office (plus, learn all about Edison bulbs from Like Lights); and hear about our designer’s journey to North Korea.
