What does it mean to you? Does it suggest hopping on a plane and indulging in an immersive travel experience? Turning off your tech to reset your mindset? It’s a word that translates into different things, at different times, for all of us. What it does universally signify, though, is a desire to get out of the everyday—to step away from the noise of life and take a big, deep breath and a moment for yourself. Escape is something we’re all craving now, especially as the year begins to wind down. (Where did it go?!) With this in mind, we’ve put together an escape-themed issue. I love the incredible stories the FASHION team has produced—they’ll give you inspiration about everything from how to pack to where to go. We’ve got…

BASEL Elena Filipovic, director of the Kunstmuseum Basel, serves as the guest contributor for this guide to the small-yet-mighty Swiss city (which packs roughly 40 museums and galleries into just 37 square kilometres). Two hundred spots are featured, including Krafft, a 48-room hotel with unbeatable views of the Rhine and where Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse was rumoured to have started writing Steppenwolf, and architectural marvel Fondation Beyeler, designed by Renzo Piano. BARCELONA According to this guide to the Catalan capital (guest-curated by Sónar electronic-music festival co-founder Sergio Caballero), Gresca is the It spot for tapas with a view of the open kitchen, while the well-preserved Romanesque-church wall paintings at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya are unmissable. PARIS This charmingly chic guide to the French capital was re-released in…

THE DROP: ECCO X NATACHA RAMSAY-LEVI GRAINER CLOGS ($250) THE DETAILS: Scandi-girls do not have time for weak soles. For all their cobblestone walking, intense cycling and cardamom-bun eating, they’re basically an accident waiting to happen. (I mean, who among us hasn’t tripped while running to get a pastry?) So surely that would explain the cultlike status Ecco has achieved in Copenhagen—a status that is bound to become even more pronounced after the launch of its third collaboration with Natacha Ramsay-Levi. If that name sounds familiar, then it’s probably because Ramsay-Levi is no stranger to the fashion industry. As the protégé of Louis Vuitton legend Nicolas Ghesquière and former creative director for Chloé, the French talent made a name for herself with her punchy perspective on style. After briefly working…

BEST PACKING APPROACH “I’m an over-packer, so packing cubes have been a game-changer. I’ve also gotten better at trying on full looks ahead of time to avoid bringing everything but the kitchen sink.” BEST CARRY-ON ESSENTIALS “I have a multitude of portable chargers to avoid my cell being on low battery. Plus, I’ll always bring a couple of cameras: a disposable one and my little digital camera. It’s all about the memories. Oh, and antibacterial wipes to clean the seat off. I am that person.” BEST BEAUTY-BAG MUST-HAVES “Along with sheet masks and a face mist, I have a tube of Maybelline Sky High mascara in every bag I travel with. I also bring Vaseline as a multi-use balm—it’s great for cuticles and elbows.” BEST LONG-HAUL-FLIGHT OUTFIT “It needs to…

To me, they are an inseparable pair—soulmates. In high school, I borrowed my yearbook quote from Virginia Woolf’s Orlando. Maybe you know the one: “There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us and not we them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.” If I were to pick a quote today, I might choose a line from Graham Greene’s The End of the Affair: “We love even with our clothes, so that a sleeve can feel a sleeve.” And this past summer, at a reading, I was rapt listening to writer Chelsea Rozansky, who put it so beautifully in an essay from her forthcoming collection: “When getting dressed,…

LOUIS VUITTON GINZA NAMIKI IN TOKYO How does one build a boutique out of water—or, rather, one that looks like it is? For Japanese studio Jun Aoki & Associate, the answer was simple: Cover the facade in two layers of rippled glass and add a film to create an iridescent exterior. Talk about making waves. DIOR 30 AVENUE MONTAIGNE IN PARIS While time machines might still be a work in progress, Dior has the next best thing: 30 Avenue Montaigne. Revel in Christian Dior’s original workplace and all the iconic history while acquiring the most exclusive souvenir of them all: Have your photo taken on this colourful staircase at La Galerie, the attached museum. GENTLE MONSTER IN SHANGHAI For a brand that often toes the line between weird and whimsical,…

‘It’s powerful when women understand just how much strength and capacity they have,” says Cara Delevingne over a video call. Delevingne—who broke into the fashion industry with her envy-inducing bold brows in the early 2010s and quickly rose to supermodel status—is calling from Paris to discuss her role as L’Oréal Paris’s newest ambassador. The company’s famous tag line “Because you’re worth it” is a key part of Delevingne’s global-ambassador gig and was a major “pinch me” moment for the model. “It’s a big deal! When I came on board, I hadn’t really processed the fact that I’d actually be saying it in the advert,” she explains. “For me, it means that I’m enough and that I’m deserving of self-love and respect.” She says she finds a timeless truth in the…

Most fashion editors have a tale of an outfit misfortune so humbling that it changes how they dress—and pack—forever. Mine? Sitting next to an impossibly chic influencer while wearing a wool suit in 35ºC. The lesson? I didn’t pack correctly, having convinced myself of a lot of nonsense in the name of capital-F fashion. Nonsense like “10-centimetre heels will be fine on cobblestones,” “this skirt will fit if you don’t eat lunch” and “you won’t sweat wearing a blazer and trousers in a heat wave.” Today, I write this as a now-reformed, borderline-professional packer. With dozens of work trips, fashion months and the odd vacation under my belt, I’ve crafted my own manifesto to avoid baggage blunders. Here, the CliffsNotes. 1 CARRY-ON, ALWAYS Chalk it up to trust issues, but checking…

RIO DE JANEIRO KÁTIA BARROS Co-founder & creative director, Farm Rio WHERE TO EAT: TERRITÓRIO APRAZÍVEL “It has the best food, amazing cocktails, incredible music and the most impressive views of Rio. I highly recommend the creamy Açaí Guacamole and the Moquequinha do Rio, made with fish, vegetables, rice and coconut milk.” WHERE TO SHOP: PULSA “Apart from Farm Rio, I love Pulsa, a multi-brand shop located in the Ipanema neighbourhood. The store curates a diverse range of high-end fashion labels from across the globe, showcasing unique styles and cutting-edge designs that are hard to find elsewhere.” WHERE TO UNWIND: SPA RITUAALI “Spa Rituaali is more than two hours from the city, but the journey is worth it. It’s situated in Itatiaia National Park, where you’re surrounded by the Atlantic…

LOCKS ON LOCK Ah, the struggle of packing hair products for a trip. Between the not-so-mini size of minis (who has a toiletry bag that big?) and the inevitable leakage, hair-care bottles can be a huge pain. Instead, turn to solid shampoos, conditioners and styling products that can be tossed in your carry-on, purse or suitcase. BODY LANGUAGE Yes, even your beloved fragrances, body hydrators and chemical exfoliants (!) are available in stick form, so you don’t have to painstakingly ration your travelsize bottles on vacay. We really are living in the future. ROCK-SOLID Thought you had no choice but to adopt a minimalist makeup routine on vacation? Not true! Master full-glam looks on the go with buildable colour formulations that just so happen to come in stick form. THROUGH…

‘I remember cucumber slices very, very vividly,” laughs Sarah Lee when I ask her about her very first beauty memory. “My mom would cut them up and we’d apply them to our faces and lie down together on the couch. I’d be like, ‘Why is my lunch on my face?’” The Glow Recipe co-founder is calling via Zoom with Christine Chang, the other half of the duo behind one of the biggest modern-day beauty-brand success stories. As we get to chatting about their early skincare experiences in South Korea (where both Lee and Chang were born), our conversation begins to sound like a charming grocery list. “Milk is a core memory for me,” says Chang. “I moved back to Korea during middle school, and we’d go to the bathhouse with…

“I’ve given birth twice, and shooting Thirst was probably harder for me than that,” Shay Mitchell tells me on an afternoon in August. We’re chatting over Zoom as the 37-year-old Canadian has just returned to her home base of L.A. after visiting her family in Vancouver. She considers the place where she spent a lot of her childhood a refuge of sorts, animatedly describing how beautiful and relaxing it is in the summer: “My favourite thing to do there is pick blackberries; it’s very calming for me.” But shooting Thirst, her new travel show, which launched on Max earlier this spring, on the other hand? Where they had to chop sugar cane at a Brazilian cachaca distillery? Not so much. “Turns out I can handle a lot,” she says. Depending…

The Dior Saddle bag was born in 1999 as a kind of impossible fashion fantasy steeped in equestrian pursuits. Its definitive shape nods to functional riding accessories, though the bag is not meant to accompany you atop a horse. No matter: In the decades since its launch, it has risen to rarefied icon status, appearing on the arms of It girls like Katie Holmes and Rihanna—the hype around it only growing after Maria Grazia Chiuri revisited it for Fall 2018. This latest iteration comes by way of Dior’s regal-yet-rebellious Cruise collection, which was presented on the grounds of Drummond Castle in Scotland. It retains the now-classic silhouette and D-shaped charm while adding a dose of punk with statement-making studs. A worthy new entry into a supreme family.…
