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.

As the sun rose over Orlando, I embraced the morning of a new day with an invigorating hot yoga session at I Flow Hard, Orlando’s newest hot yoga studio. From the intense and empowering Ignite Vinyasa Flow class with energizing music to the soul-soothing Zen Blaze class, the studio’s commitment to resilience and strength left me ready to tackle the day.

This summer’s anthem of Beyonce’s pure honey had us singing, “It should cost a billion to look this good, but she make it look easy ’cause she got it.” It’s spot on what sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmerman have perfected as we watch their technique in ladies ready to wear. In August, Zimmerman became Australia’s first billion-dollar fashion label after a majority acquisition by private equity firm Advent International. Nicky and Simone founded their namesake label in 1991 and the sisters continue to run Zimmerman while they maintain a minority shareholder position. Their loyal following of their feminine dresses, swimwear and accessories can be seen in specialty stores, online luxury retailers and in one of their 58 standalone stores worldwide. Zimmerman chose Orlando’s Mall at Millenia as their newest location for their boutique.

Stepping into the exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, I was immediately enveloped by the history and grandeur of Naomi Campbell’s remarkable career. “NAOMI: In Fashion” is a vivid exploration of a woman who, for over 40 years, has defined not only fashion but culture itself. Campbell is more than a supermodel—she’s a pioneer, a symbol of resilience, and a champion of diversity showcasing her iconic collaborations and her contributions beyond the runway.
