Welcome to our exclusive August issue! We hope this message finds you enjoying a well-deserved holiday. As for myself, I’ve been exploring the stunning landscapes of the Dolomites, Slovenia, and Croatia, seeking solace amidst the bustling crowds of Europe’s busiest summer on record. In this era of social media, even the most secluded destinations can quickly become viral sensations, making it quite a challenge to find hidden gems in Europe.
I’ve had this romantic vision of discovering the serene parks and mountains of Slovenia, but unfortunately, it seems the TikTok crew has beaten me to it. Nevertheless, there are still small pockets of tranquility that can be found. One such place is Li Galli, also known as Le Sirenuse, a captivating Italian archipelago with a legendary past. Our fortunate writer, Gisela Williams, was granted an exclusive tour of this magical place, now owned by art patron Nicoletta Fiorucci Russo and her husband Giovanni Russo. Li Galli has been transformed into a haven for artists, featuring stunning site-specific works of art amidst its Islamic tiled interiors, whitewashed terraces, and beautiful gardens. It’s no wonder people say the place has a siren’s call.
Our cover story features the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger. This legendary figure holds a mythic status akin to those enchanting beings on Le Sirenuse. As Arnie experiences a resurgence in popularity with a Netflix drama, a documentary, and a new book, our LA bureau chief, Christopher Grimes, had the honor of capturing the essence of this iconic actor, bodybuilder, and politician at his Brentwood home. Schwarzenegger’s undeniable force of personality shines through the stunning portraits captured by photographer Tracy Nguyen.
In this issue, we also feature another ’80s icon, Helena Christensen, who collaborates with the iconic swimwear brand, Hunza G. Founded in 1984 and recently revived by Georgiana Huddart, this crinkly swimwear label has become a sensation, with Net-a-Porter as its main wholesaler. When Helena posted a picture of herself wearing a Hunza G swimsuit, a wonderful collaboration was born. We are thrilled to exclusively reveal the new capsule collection in this issue, featuring Helena not only as a collaborator but also as the model.
Lastly, don’t miss out on Rhodri Marsden’s gadget column, where he explores the latest frontier in toys. From The Little Car Company’s life-sized remote-control car to Bittle X, a palm-sized robot dog that can be programmed to respond to your commands, Rhodri has curated some fantastic solutions for those rainy summer days.
