If there’s anything the last few years has taught us, it’s that life is too short – we ought to be Right Here, Right Now. With summer now on the horizon, there is no time more perfect to be present and take in everything our vibrant world has to offer. While the Met Gala monopolised our social media feeds and Tom Ford stunned with his last hurrah, we couldn’t help but fill our style notes with sensory bag handles and focus our P.O.V on the sand swept Isle of Sheepey and the ethereal Taiwanese star, Chen Ting Ni. In need of travel recommendations? We celebrated the freeness of Ibiza with Loewe and flew to Seoul with Louis Vuitton. Master perfumer Christine Nagel, on the other hand, transported us to Kythira in Greece with the new Hermès Un Jardin à Cythère fragrance. Seeking the ultimate thrill? We got the chance to chat with Nepalese mountaineer, Nirmal Purja, on his ascent of the world’s highest peaks with Montblanc. Now, that should be enough summer inspiration for you.
