Sometimes fashion begins not with a silhouette, but with a feeling. The quote chosen for the invitation to Christian Dior’s Autumn/Winter 26-27 collection, designed by Jonathan Anderson, set the tone long before the first model stepped onto the runway. Its poetic message about unexpected beauty and fleeting moments of joy felt particularly relevant today.
I had long dreamed of experiencing From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana, the landmark exhibition that debuted in Milan before traveling to Paris. It was the kind of fantasy you imagine indulging in during Fashion Week, surrounded by couture, culture, and creative electricity. Wandering through those rooms amid the glitterati rush seemed almost surreal. Imagine my excitement when I discovered that this extraordinary exhibition had arrived closer to home. All it took was a day trip to Miami.
Every time I return to Paris, I’m reminded how quickly beauty can fill our senses. It’s the movement, the fashion, the energy, the endless stimulation of a city that never stops inspiring me.
The Intercontinental Grand Hotel in Paris holds stories in its walls, and on this night, it welcomed another chapter in Balmain’s history. Opened in 1862 under the commission of Napoleon III, it has long been one of the city’s most glamorous landmarks, hosting royalty, celebrities, and historic events.
There are runway shows that present clothing and then there are those rare moments when fashion feels like it’s summoning something ancient. That was the atmosphere as I took my seat for McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris.
Weekend trips are carry-on only, and I’m fully embracing the edit. There’s something liberating about packing light, especially when your destination is as effortless as it is elegant. Whether it’s a float down the lazy river at the Four Seasons Orlando Resort or a beachside escape to the Bahamas, streamlined summer packing is where practicality meets personal style.
