Fashion Quarterly

time for reflection…

I’m chalking 2018 up as memorable yet chaotic year. She was filled with high highs and low lows with Trump mania, the #MeToo movement, catastrophic weather events, royal weddings, the Thai football team stuck in a cave and our nation’s leader consecutively running the country and raising a newborn.

Whether that means seeking distraction and relief through informative reads and beautiful shoots or literally jumping on a plane and escaping everyday life with a trip away (be it a coffee and craft-beer jaunt around Portland or taking a restorative and restful break in Bali) we’ve got you covered.As Christmas nears you’ll also have gifts for your…

LOUIS VUITTON FALL 18 MENSWEAREvery time I take a trip, I end up with a crammed suitcase but still find myself wearing the same thing over and over. How do I avoid the unnecessary excess and make packing easier?ANTEPRIMA SPRING 19J. LINDEBERG SPRING 19ANTEPRIMA SPRING 19MIU MIU RESORT 19Taking the time to thoughtfully pack before jet setting off - whether for a weekend or long haul - is a luxury and not a necessity. Sure, a super tight edit is great in theory, but for those who are 'instinctual' dressers as opposed to ‘uniform’ dressers, it might actually cause panic upon reaching your destination. Travelling with a reduced wardrobe is more about finding an approach that works for you as opposed to strictly sticking to any numbered guidelines or ticking…
