It has been said that you can’t improve upon perfection, but Nikos Koulis’s sleek, artful reinterpretation of the classic rivière necklace, from the designer’s ME collection, is the definition of modern symmetry and style. With a reticulated collar crafted from brushed 18-karat gold and studded with 17 glittering oval diamonds, it’s an elegant yet understated piece that’s guaranteed to shine.…

For some parents, and even adults without children, the idea of spending days at Walt Disney World Resort is a dream come true. For others, the thought of waiting in line for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with an eight-year-old can bring on a panic attack. The good news for the latter group is that planning a trip to Disney is easier than you might think, and there are plenty of adult perks to make up for the princess breakfasts, from Michelin-star food to scalp massages. The trick to winning at Disney, reveals Naseem Khonsari, a travel agent who specializes in the destination, is to plan ahead and splurge on key perks. If you can afford it, she advises, stay six nights. “The best way to do Disney World is…

This issue is dedicated to the idea of home—of what home means and represents to each of us, of the homes we make and the ones we leave behind. To some people, home is a physical space or a geographic place. To others, it’s something that’s found in people or a sense of connection. To a lot of us, though, it’s an ever-evolving mix of those things, which is an idea we explore throughout this issue. Maya Lin has created an extraordinary body of work that asks us to consider the beauty in what’s in front of us and the relationship we have with the world around us. She has also been an important voice in the conversation around the climate crisis. But while Lin’s work is very public, she…

IN LATE AUGUST, the designers Ester Manas and Balthazar Delepierre were married in the countryside just outside of their home in Brussels, Belgium, surrounded by close family and friends. It was a sweet and intimate affair, one that the couple say felt like a blending of their two families but also a “reunion” of old friends. Manas and Delepierre—together for 11 years and business partners for nearly five—are the duo behind Manas’s namesake womenswear brand, which over the past two seasons of Paris Fashion Week has had one of the most talked-about shows, thanks to its wildly cool, authentically size-inclusive designs. Now, the designers, both 30, are entering into a new phase of their relationship, expanding their label and embracing a new personal chapter at the same time. Post-wedding, Manas…

A group of scientists tinkers with extinct genetic code to bring to life a thrilling consumer experience. If that sounds vaguely like the plot of 1993’s Jurassic Park, you’re right, but it’s also the concept of Future Society, a new beauty company that’s about to change the way we think about perfumery. The idea for Future Society was born after scientists, using preserved botanical specimens collected at Harvard University’s Herbaria, sequenced the genetic codes of extinct flowers dating back to 1812. Using that data, the brand worked with perfumers from scent houses Givaudan and Robertet to source a mix of fragrance notes—synthetic, natural, and bioengineered—inspired by the scent molecules of the extinct flowers. The result: six juices that bring the smell of long-gone blooms back to life. “Our goal wasn’t…

“I feel most at HOME with my WIFE and KIDS,” says OFFSET. “The nerves are CALM, I’m not trying to CRITIQUE any MUSIC or make anything sound perfect; it’s already a PERFECT setting.” Last month, the rapper, who rose to prominence as part of the hip-hop trio Migos, released his second solo album, Set It Off. “I put a lot of sweat, blood, and tears into it,” he says, noting that he recorded about 400 songs for consideration. “It’s basically my solo journey as Offset,” he continues. Along with Chlöe Bailey, Latto, Future, Travis Scott, and Don Toliver, the project features collaborations with his aforementioned spouse, who just happens to be Cardi B, including the lead single, “Jealousy.” “That song was for the people with opinions on our relationship,” says…

Every artist’s perspective is in some way shaped by the people who have surrounded them and the places they’re from. But for sculptor and performance artist Rose B. Simpson, painter, printmaker, sculptor, and collagist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and photographer Jeremy Dennis, the idea of home plays an especially urgent role in their work. All three are enrolled Indigenous American tribal members, and their practices don’t just honor their individual Native histories, cultures, environments, and traditions, they also seek to ignite conversations about historical oppression and the land theft their communities continue to face. Both Simpson and Smith have had expansive exhibitions at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art this year, symbolizing what is an encouraging yet long-overdue shift in how institutions are showcasing and giving platforms to art made…

“I choose to put something out in a really LOUD, public SETTING— something that’s going to FORCE you into a different MINDSET.” One morning in September, Maya Lin welcomes me into her apartment, a series of merged units with Gothic-style windows in a former women’s college near Central Park on New York City’s Upper East Side. At five foot three, with her signature long bob, Lin, now 64, is slight, with an affable demeanor and a surprisingly low voice. Dressed in jeans and a brown shirt, she ushers me outside to her rooftop terrace, where an array of potted plants lends a lush calm to the frenetic energy of the city below. Lin recently adopted a nine-month-old mini-Aussie puppy named Sable, who circles us before scampering inside. Lin likes working…
