September has marked our return, and with it a renewed energy on the site. Over the past weeks we have travelled widely — both geographically and culturally — covering favourite hotels, artists, and even pausing to reflect on the loss of Hollywood’s most golden of golden boys, Robert Redford.
We’ve revisited the sunlit glamour of Palm Springs and Palm Beach, considered the poetry of Louis Barragán’s architecture, and savoured the trattorias of Milano. One of my personal highlights has been our guide to travelling through Italy like Marge and Dickie Greenleaf — an ode to The Talented Mr. Ripley and to a certain kind of cinematic wanderlust. We’ve traced autumn light through Tangier, celebrated the lens of Gordon Parks, and checked into some of the world’s most beautiful hotels, from La Maison Bleue in Egypt to the new HAY-led Villa Colucci in southern Italy.
As we look ahead, the journey continues. We plan to post every day for the rest of the year, opening doors to more hotels and hideaways, more artists, writers, filmmakers, and architects, and more historical surveys — from the evolution of the swimming pool to the museums we return to again and again.
This is, and will remain, a space dedicated to curiosity, inspiration, and beauty — and it’s all free. Thank you for being part of it.
