Taste only counts here when it leaves a name you can follow: a buyer who moves a floor, a stylist who dresses the room, a founder whose first collection sells out before the press release, a socialite whose jewelry choice becomes next season's brief.
The Tastemakers moves country by country across that map. Each chapter is a Style brief with named people, a market you can shop or watch, and a clear reason the next country on the list matters to diaspora readers who already adopt early.
Start in Seoul with department-store buyers and export labels. Continue through the mainland's new literati, Asian American designers who cut the grammar of New York fashion, transpacific taste in Vancouver and Toronto, equatorial modern in Singapore, radical form in Tokyo's design laboratory, and Bangkok's global creative class.
