Contributors Seda Domaniç “Istanbul evokes all the feelings that one seeks when travelling,” says Domaniç, who writes about the exciting new developments in her hometown in Istanbul Now (p29). After more than 10 years as the editor-in-chief of Vogue Turkey, she now contributes to a variety of publications, is editor-in-chief and co-author of the travel-book series Monday to Sunday Istanbul, and is cofounder of Refabric, a generative AI company specialising in fashion design. Tom Harrow “Champagne is for serious wine collectors not just party-goers.” This is the clear message that Tom Harrow, a London and Swedenbased wine consultant, is hearing from those in the know across Europe. “Although the market is looking a little bearish currently,” admits the author of How Champagne Became Collectable (p66), “fine fizz has been the first to recover and offers upsides for those looking to invest in their future drinking pleasure.” Lanie Goodman “You can still find sleepy rural villages in Provence that drew centuries of botanists and wine-growers,” says the New York-born arts and travel journalist who – having lived in the South of France for over three decades – was excellently placed to cover the region’s latest hotel openings in Castles in the Vines (p36) “What I love about these places is how the recent hotelier scene is mixing ancient with modern and nature with art in these lush countryside hamlets. I love to time travel – and there’s nothing like sleeping in a fourposter bed, surrounded by the memory-imbued stone walls of castles or convents.” Kate O’Brien With a background in science and nutrition, Dublin-based author Kate O’Brien was in her element speaking with scientists, explorers and chefs about the rapidly shifting landscape of the culinary world for Food Forward (p86). “Being Irish, storytelling is in my blood and it was a real treat to weave these tales, from the world’s first triple-Michelin-starred, plant-based restaurant in New York to Blue Zone super-agers and foraging in Tasmania’s hinterland,” she says. “Simply by eating more in tune with nature’s rhythms we can live longer, live better and feel happier – without really trying!” Anja Shahinniya The Munich-based artist’s intricate works of paper art serve as a fascinating canvas for the season’s jewellery in Swing Time (p98). A former fashion editor, Shahinniya favours 275g embossed paper and a pair of hyper-precise scissors to craft fanciful scenes – from extremely detailed re-creations of cities to mythical creatures. Her work has appeared in a range of publications, including Vogue Germany and Salon as well as in campaigns for Bulgari, Swarovski and Tiffany & Co, among others.
