Luca Guadagnino’s first hotel design/Galerie

In the past two months Luca Guadagnino premiered his new film Queer, starring Daniel Craig, at the Venice Film Festival, served as art director of the biennial Homo Faber exhibition in that same city, and made his debut as a hotel designer. One would be forgiven for thinking the creative impresario, who launched his interior design firm studiolucaguadagnino in 2017, had already dabbled in hospitality design. The firm's portfolio, after all, boasts multiple luxurious residential and commercial interiors. But the 26-room Palazzo Talia in Rome is in fact his first foray in that category. And if the hotel were a film,...

Necklace with possible ties to Marie Antoinette/Galerie

A spectacular diamond necklace destined for auction at Sotheby‘s in Geneva next month is shrouded in so much mystery and intrigue it practically warrants a dedicated podcast series. Said necklace is a triple strand wonder, with 500 diamonds weighing over 300 carats. It is believed to have been created around 1780-1800. So what's the fuss? There's a chance that some of those diamonds were once part of a necklace that was the centerpiece of un enorme scandale, a salacious soap opera complete with affairs, betrayal, forgery, theft, and death. Intrigued? Get the full scoop here. ...

The Emory Hotel/Forbes.com

"Discreet" is a word that is frequently bandied about in association with The Emory, London's first all-suite luxury hotel. Yet the property, the latest from Maybourne, is housed in a glass building with quite distinctive architecture and floor-to-ceiling windows in each suite. If anything, it's a quiet exhibitionist. With pretty major street cred, at that. Read all about it here. ...

Gundari resort in Folegandros/Galerie

Folegandros may be one of Greece's best-kept secrets. The 12-square-mile western Cycladic island is one of those hard to get to, but worth it once you get there destinations, reached only by boat or helicopter. Often referred to as the anti-Mykonos, its year-round population hovers in the 750 range. Cruise ships do not dock here. There is no Uber or Lyft. But Folegandros (which, according to myth, is named for the son of King Minos of Crete) does have a dreamy new resort, that they say will introduce the island to the discerning Greek island hopper. See all the gorgeousness...

Tangier story in ELLE

If you had said to me 10 years ago that Tangier was going to be the hottest place and everybody was going to be talking about it, I would have said you were crazy," admits Kenza Bennani, founder of ready-to-wear and accessories brand New Tangier. Her hometown is one of the largest cities in Morocco, perched on the northwestern tip of not just the country but the entire African continent. It's an extraordinary location, poised between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and bordered by the Strait of Gibraltar. The hillside topography here is often compared with San Francisco's,...

Nancy Sharon Collins’ Hand-drawn Bespoke Monograms/Forbes

One would think that in a time when some send invitations to major life events via digital platforms and there are debates about whether kids should still be taught cursive writing, that the demand for customized stationery would be practically non-existent. Turns out, it’s quite the opposite. Stationery and all its affiliated accoutrements for all occasions is still very relevant. And there’s a particularly discerning demographic that takes it one step further: they commission hand-drawn bespoke monograms. It's true! Read more here....

Daniel Arsham cabin at Destination Kohler/Forbes

Daniel Arsham’s exhibitions draw throngs of adoring fans, but his latest installation has remained fairly under the radar. That could be due to its unlikely location: a cabin on Lake Michigan in rural Wisconsin. It’s the fifth and latest addition to the Kohler Cabin Collection at Destination Kohler, a large resort known primarily for golf (it boasts four championship courses) and a world-class spa. The addition of Arsham’s cabin catapults the resort, owned by the Kohler Company, to bucket-list status as a destination for fans of the artist, considered by many to be one of the most important of his...

Bryan O’Sullivan profile/Forbes.com

The name Bryan O’Sullivan may not immediately ring any bells. But if you’ve enjoyed a cocktail at the famed Red Room bar in London’s Connaught Hotel, booked the penthouse at Claridge’s (or enjoyed dinner at the iconic property’s restaurant) or checked into Maybourne’s luxe properties in Beverly Hills or just outside Monte Carlo (in Roquebrune-Cap Martin) then you’ve experienced interiors that he’s designed.
