Fall 2023

“From a quarter mile away, I could hear the noise of the wood in the wind; a soft marine roar. It was the immense compound noise of friction – of leaf fretting on leaf, and branch rubbing on branch.”

Robert Macfarlane, The Wild Places


As we cross the threshold into the magical territory of fall, our annual international style issue explores the atmosphere of spaces around the globe. From lake to temple, Genius Loci, or the spirit of place, is particular to each location. We visit enchanting Lake Como and the 18th-century Villa Passalacqua, transformed by San Francisco studio BAMO. We then travel to Kyoto to discover the origins of Jiun Ho’s new textile collection, an homage to the ancient Japanese city he loves. And, we delve into Kneedler Fauchère’s 75-year legacy of global curation. These travels, alongside new fall collections and cosmopolitan new design books, welcome in this lyrical season.
