You’ve already binged all four seasons of Money Heist. What next?

For any fledgling It girl, whether she is on the ascent in Hollywood or on Instagram, in sports or in music, there is arguably no truer sign of arrival than the luxury brand ambassadorship. Sofia Richie Grainge, who was just crowned Queen of the Tiktokcracy in TC’s September issue, can now add this to her list of accomplishments: she is the face of David Yurman’s new Sculpted Cable collection of bangles. As with the most fruitful of partnerships, there was a clear synergy of values and vibe. Ri…

Rather than taking account of the many hospitality brands now getting into maritime luxury, it might just be easier to list those who are not. From the Ritz-Carlton to Aman, RH to Orient Express, all have either already launched tricked out branded boats, or have announced plans to do so in the next few years. The Med is going to be quite crowded come summer 2026. Last year at the Monaco Yacht Show, Four Seasons announced it was getting into the game. In partnership with luxury yachting company…

The consummate aesthete, Christian Dior was as fluent in gardens and perfume, art and gastronomy, as he was in couture. He made his worlds collide in swirls of silk, ribbon, and embroidery, alluding to his gallerist roots in trompe l’oeil flourishes, translating his green thumb into rose brocades and tulip silhouettes. He knew: A life of beauty is an endless source of inspiration. Victoire de Castellane, the Dior maison’s mastermind of haute joaillerie, knows it too. Her every jewel is an homage…

Where are we going? The 170th anniversary of Vincent van Gogh’s birth has been celebrated all year at museums around the world. (Did you see his cypresses at the Met? His suburban landscapes at Chicago’s Art Institute?) This month a new show at the Musée d’Orsay brings together more than 50 works the artist completed during the last two months of his life, which he spent in a village outside Paris. Opens October 3, musee-orsay.frWhat are we wearing? When Blancpain introduced the Ladybird in the…

Wannabe influencers crowding the lavender fields of the Abbaye de Sénanque. Snaking traffic on the Basse Corniche. The absence of personal space at Club 55. No reservations at La Vague d’Or for six months. Ah, summer in Provence. These are a few of the inevitable realities that come with a holiday in France’s most popular region during its most popular season. There are merits, too: the weather, swimming in the warm Mediterranean, rosé toute la journée. But pick the right time in September or Oc…

Royals, artists, and writers have been enthralled by the natural beauty and charm of the Spanish island. Care to join them? Three venues we love.La Residencia, a Belmond Hotel Discreetly tucked among the honey-colored stone houses of Deià, an artsy village long favored by creative aristos (most famously the author and poet Robert Graves, who fell in love with the place in 1929 and never looked back), this glamorous property has seen its own share of A-listers seeking refuge, from Princess Diana…

Great news for any brides-to-be who happen to have Queen Charlotte on their mood boards. Larkspur Hawk, the jewelry brand founded by Emily Satloff and inspired by her passion for Georgian era bijoux, has launched its first official bridal collection. For loyal fans of the brand, this is a long time coming—after all, the jewels of the Georgian era are steeped in romance (see again: Queen Charlotte). “Since our jewelry is so rooted in history, it has always been a natural choice for brides,” the…

“I ’m not a guru,” Cleo Wade says. Her 780,000 Instagram followers—and celebrity fans like Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle—might disagree. For the better part of the last decade Wade has refashioned poetry into a modern art form, harnessing the power and reach of social media to deliver her hand written manifestos and poignant free verse. “I was always drawn to poetry, because it felt like a place where you could tell a story without rules,” she says. “And it has always provided this space whe…

Even for the horological neophyte, Patek Philippe needs no introduction. From the Nautilus to the Aquanaut—and every reference number in between—the storied Swiss manufacture is behind some of the most sought after grails in the world. It also has the distinction of being the maker of 9 out of the 10 most expensive watches ever sold at auction (for those keeping score, the Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A-010 took the top spot in 2019 when it sold at Christie’s for $31.19 million). Now there is ano…
