Summer Edit 2026
A Mediterranean state of mind
A magazine issue devoted to the long, slow months of European summer — the routines, the wardrobes, the rituals and the small, well-chosen things that travel beautifully.
A note from the editors
This issue is a love letter to the slow European summer — to the long lunches, the linen dresses, the bottle of SPF kept on the kitchen counter, the woman in a wide-brimmed hat who has decided, quietly, not to be in a hurry.
