This January, we celebrate icons who’ve transcended their craft. Tony Leung Chiu-wai graces our cover—a master whose silences speak volumes, whose presence commands without utterance. As Louis Vuitton marks 130 years of the Monogram, we explore how certain symbols become timeless through constant reinvention. Shu Qi reveals the woman behind decades of fearless performances, while Deepa Mehta reflects on storytelling as resistance. Each conversation in these pages examines what endures: not mere popularity, but the quiet authority of those who’ve shaped culture through unwavering vision. Welcome to a year of rediscovering what truly lasts.
