Wear a larger, menswear-inspired blazer over shorts for a look that instantly lengthens your legs. Layered pendant

From New York to Paris, designers have dazzled us with the
season’s newest trends. Whether your style is glam or casual,
one theme is clear: when it comes to fashion, comfort rules—
but so does a little drama and a lot of fun.

UTILITARIAN JUMPSUITS
Kicking off New York’s spring collections were a
slew of utilitarian jumpsuits. Merging the practical
with the fashionable, these pieces are perfect
for the girl on the go—slip one on, and you have
an instant outfit! Take a cue from designers like
Claudia Li or Kim Shui by snagging a style with
pockets, a sharp collar or both.
3.1 PHILLIP LIM, twill cotton jumpsuit, $695
VIBRANT GREENS
One of 2021’s most predicted popular colours is
green, and the first Fashion Week of the season
kicked off with an explosion of it. Standouts like
Bibhu Mohapatra, Frederick Anderson, and Jason
Wu all incorporated the shade into their spring
collections, proving that it’s pretty easy being
green—especially in a slick silk suit, floaty dress or
airy short-sleeved top.
TORY BURCH, tiered midi dress, $398
VOLUMINOUS SLEEVES
Designers from Christian Cowan to Nicole Miller
encouraged fashion fans to go for the bold this spring with
one major trend: over-the-top, puffy sleeves. This accent
was on everything from flowy dresses to leather blouses,
and a definite cause for adding some drama to your
springtime look. Whoever said bigger is better was onto
something.
ORSEUND IRIS, button-embellished blouse, $445
LOUNGEWEAR SETS
In the city that never sleeps, fashion is a constant.
Reflective of the current WFH culture and the
importance of staying home, the US fashion
capital debuted a range of comfy loungewear
sets. Everyone from Cynthia Rowley to Hillary
Taymour at Collina Strada showed sets of matching
sweatpants and tops or hoodies, proving that
comfort is key for the months ahead.

VINTAGE FLORALS
Florals, for spring? In 2021, it sounds groundbreaking—
especially given the dressier side of London Fashion
Week, serving as the polar opposite to everyone’s
current uniform of sweatpants and cozy tops. Designers
across the pond like Emilia Wickstead and Erdem
Moralioglu utilized this trend yet again for the spring
season in every garment imaginable, proving that
formal florals still have their place in the fashion scene.
ERDEM, printed midi dress, $1,630
RAD RUFFLES
Following the formal style of the UK, ruffles
sprouted everywhere during Fashion Week.
Whether they were on skirts at Bora Aksu or
dresses by Edeline Lee and Molly Goddard,
the confectionary trend maintained its place
as a fixture for fantastical fashion. Why not
slip on a frothy skirt or gown when you’re
feeling down?
NEEDLE & THREAD, tulle midi skirt, $440
PATCHWORK PRINTS
Colour-blocked and patchwork prints ran
rampant across collections this season.
Thornton Bregazzi’s Preen, Rixo and
Christopher Kane all used this play on
patterns and textures in their collections,
creating pieces that simultaneously made
statements and clashed in perfect harmony.
MCQ, oversized checked shirt dress, $495
HIGH-NECK BLOUSES
Blouses are essential for any woman’s wardrobe, which London
designers latched onto for spring. Button-ups and tops with
higher necklines accented by collars and bows were particularly
popular, as proven by Roksanda, Simone Rocha and Victoria
Beckham. Whether it’s the ultimate purchase for Zoom meetings
or an easy transitional piece for regular wear, investing in one
this spring will serve you well for seasons to come.

Milan
GRAPHIC PRINTS
Milanese fashion is known for its bold
and punchy prints, and this season was
no exception. From Etro’s geometric flags
to Marni’s splattered swirls and vibrant
underwater patterns at Versace, there was
a range of spectacular prints for anyone to
choose from.
VERSACE, printed kaftan, $825
SHEER APPEAL
Gauzy, romantic pieces were literally in
full swing at Milan Fashion Week this
spring. Armani showed see-through
gowns, while Sportmax and Emilio Pucci
layered sheer slips on top of tights and
shifts. Whether printed or embroidered, it
was literally clear to see that transparency
is trending right now.
ETRO, printed blouse, $1,390
EARTHY NEUTRALS
Neutrals took centre stage in Milan this season.
There were brown gowns at Valentino and desert-
worthy hues of tan and beige at Tod’s and Max Mara,
not to mention the numerous other brands where
they made an appearance. All-natural neutrals are
the direction fashion’s heading in this season—just
be sure to pair yours with pointed flats or strappy
sandals for a runway-worthy finish.
RAINS, wide-leg pants, $125
CROCHET
Perhaps one of the season’s more unusual trends,
crochet came out of the woodwork for the spring
2021 shows. There were open-knit sweaters at Alberta
Ferretti, chic crocheted dresses at Ferragamo and cozy
sets at Fendi. This vintage-inspired trend undoubtedly
came back to merge comfort with fashion, in case any
especially dramatic dressers wanted to wear something
soft without settling for sweats. Count us in!

Paris
OVERSIZED SUITING
Following the wave of trends merging
formalwear with comfort this season, Paris’
take on the movement was over-sized blazers
and suiting. Louis Vuitton’s voluminous slacks,
as well as Thom Browne and The Row’s
massive jackets, were a clear cue to go a size
up when buying suiting pieces this season.
SAINT LAURENT, wool and cashmere-blend

blazer, $3,790
ELEGANT YELLOW
Like clockwork, pastels bloomed on the
runways just in time for spring. In Paris, light
yellows were everywhere from Givenchy
to Altuzarra. Though the tone is always
appropriate this time of year, the best way
to wear it is through a shirtdress or any dress
style, according to leading brands this season.
MARA HOFFMAN, cotton- and linen-blend

dress, $275
GOLD HARDWARE
Gold was a mainstay for numerous brands
this Fashion Week. Balmain embellished its
bags with the metal, Schiaparelli showcased
chunky surrealist jewellery and Chloé
adorned its bags and accessories with the
staple hardware—and let’s not forget Paco
Rabanne’s multiple gold sequined looks,
including that viral full-face mask.
CHLOÉ gold and crystal necklace, $870
STRAIGHT-LACED
Lace is a hallmark of French fashion, as one
of the most romantic and delicate materials
around. Naturally, it made its mark through
heart-stopping dresses at Dior, statement
blouses at Rokh and sweet cardigan sets at
Chanel.

o person brings jet-setting
to mind as much as Nicky
Hilton. From New York to
Los Angeles and beyond,
Hilton is an avid traveller
and renowned it-girl, well, everywhere.
It stands to reason that the COVID-19
pandemic brought a halt to the
designer and businesswoman’s agenda
of meetings, parties, fashion shows
and family vacations. In retrospect,
Hilton says that last year’s worldwide
shutdown taught her to “stop and smell
the roses.”
“It was a crazy, crazy year, but one of the

words I take away most is ‘gratitude,’”
says Hilton. “I think so many of us were
taking such simple things for granted.
Just going out to lunch with a friend, or
even meeting in person for a meeting.
Going to the grocery store. And then,
suddenly, all of us were put on house
arrest. So I would definitely say that it has
made me grateful for the small things.”
Hilton’s been in the public eye since she

was a teenager, photographed at the
Waldorf with her sister, Paris, and getting
great acclaim after launching her first
clothing line when she was just 21 years
old. After all, instant fame is natural when
you’re a renowned heiress. However,
Hilton reveals that her family’s close-knit
nature keeps her grounded.
“I always say that my happiness and

success is connected to my family. I’m so
close with my family. Not only my mom,
my dad, my siblings, but my cousins, my
aunts and uncles,” Hilton says. “We’re all so
tight, and to have that bond and know that
you always have each other’s back is very
important to me. Family is everything.”

Travel is also an important part of Hilton’s life,
both for work and pleasure. Most recently, the
heiress took a summer trip to Rome, Italy. While
on vacation, Hilton made sure to take in the city’s
classic sights—as well as some pasta from her
favourite restaurants, Bolognese and Al Moro,
and a shopping trip to Prada.
“It felt very good,” Hilton says of her trip. “I

went to Italy about a week after they lifted the
restrictions, so it was such a once-in-a-lifetime
experience to be in Rome, on the Spanish Steps
and at the Trevi Fountain, without all the packed
tourists. So, it was really nice to enjoy the city
without it being so packed.”
As she prepares for future trips to Los Angeles,

Greece and a second vacay in Italy, Hilton recalls
her favourite travel memories. Many have been
with her sister, with who she’s been on numerous
international trips with over the years.
“We love to travel together. I would say one

of our favourites is Las Vegas; we just were in
Vegas for the Resorts World Opening that she
deejayed. Vegas is always a fun time,” Hilton
laughs. “But if we’re looking for something more
relaxing, Hawaii. Maui. We’ve been going there
every year since we’re babies, and it’s just such a
nice, relaxing, beautiful place to visit.”
On the local front, Hilton adores her hometown

of New York City. When it comes to dressing
between cities like NYC, London, and Los
Angeles, the designer’s style is adaptable to the
climate she’s in.
“I think I am a bit of a style chameleon. I definitely

think I adapt to my environment, you know?” says
Hilton. “When I’m in L.A., I’m definitely embracing
that laid-back, boho-chic vibe: loose, blousy
dresses, gladiator sandals. When I’m in New York,
it’s a little more dressed up and sophisticated.”
Speaking of New York City, Hilton’s stomping

grounds were the background of her cover
shoot—after all, she is a “born and bred New
Yorker.” The heiress was photographed across
a range of spots that highlighted the city’s rich
culture, like 50 Bowery and Chinatown. When it
comes to New York, she loves the city’s diversity
and energy the most.
“I think it’s one of the most fantastic, dynamic

places,” says Hilton. “It really is the melting pot
of the world, and it has a little of something for
everyone. I love the energy, the people. I love it.”
As the future nears, Hilton teases that more

projects are on the horizon—including her
upcoming fall collection for French Sole.
“You’ll definitely see more shoes, and I’m working

on a few fun projects, which I will launch at the
beginning of next year,” she says. Jewelry / Bountik

Key to the success of any floating breakfast is the backdrop. Let’s face it,
an egg’s an egg no matter where it’s served. But an egg that floats at sun-
rise on a tray made of coconut wood, in a pool filtered by elephants and
moored out among the lush rice paddies of Ubud, well that’s an egg for the
ages. At Tanah Gajah Ubud, visitors can breakfast in the estate’s main pool
or in their private pool (when booked into a private pool villa). We suggest
a dip following a sunrise hot air balloon ride where you can drink in views
of Mt. Agung.

2. BANYAN TREE SAMUI

Circle your selections—pancakes, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, bacon,
sausages, Earl Grey tea, coffee, croissants, perhaps a platter of cheeses,
cold cuts and olives or even Champagne and orange juice—and lo and
behold, it arrives on a trolley the next morning at the requested time. All
that remains is for the waiter to delicately place your breakfast on a giant
floating basket and glide it across to you as you wallow on a lilo. What a
great way to start the day! And because breakfast is included in the daily
rate, the price for such lavishness is just an additional service fee of $15 per
2
villa. Just remember—the camera always eats first!

3. MELIÁ KOH SAMUI

About the only way to beat waking up to a lagoon pool that meanders
through Meliá Koh Samui’s grounds like a river is to add a floating breakfast
to its surface. A must-try for anyone staying in rooms and suites with private
terraces that segue to the lagoon pool, the floating breakfast makes for a
mix-and-match affair. Guests select whatever they wish from the resort’s a la
carte menu that includes eggs benedict, pastries, delectable Spanish cold
cuts and cheese, and fresh fruit as well as coffee, tea and freshly squeezed
juices. If you’re feeling up to it, opt for a glass or two of bubbles.

4. BANYAN TREE LANG CO

In a nation as replete with visual manna as Vietnam, it takes something
truly jaw-dropping to stand out from the crowd. Luckily, that’s what’s on
offer at Banyan Tree Lang Co where one of the nation’s most striking vistas
provides the ultimate floating breakfast pick-me-up. While the views over
the East Sea and the resort’s private beach—a pristine 3-km long stretch of
sand— certainly grab the attention, the repast itself is equally memorable.
Breakfast—either continental, healthy or American—comes served on a
fetching sedge tray. Guests can also upgrade with a 375-ml bottle of
Champagne. Now that’s what we call a beautiful start to the day!

5. ALMA CAM RANH

If you’re not quite content with a floating tray experience at your pavilion’s
private pool, Alma’s 12 swimming pools are also on offer for the pic-
ture-perfect feast. Guests populate their tray, available for breakfast and
meals throughout the day, by choosing from a broad spectrum of Viet-
namese and international dishes on offer at Alma’s host of dining outlets.
Whether savouring bacon and eggs or a banh mi and banh xeo for break-
fast or fresh seafood or a pizza later in the day, from the right photo angle
the meal will look like it’s about to float away to the next pool or nearby
sand and sea. Did we mention Alma offers heart-shaped trays
in addition to rectangle ones?

GREAT PLAINS OL DONYO LODGE
KEN YA
Guests at ol Donyo Lodge always ask what cocktail is recommended, and a camp favourite
is without a doubt The Donyo Dawa. The locally sourced honey compliments the freshly
squeezed lime—creating a bittersweet marriage over the vodka.
The Dawa is a well-known refreshing beverage in Kenya from the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro to
the depths of the Maasai Mara and interestingly means ‘medicine’ in Swahili. As the sun sets
behind the looming Kilimanjaro with a breeding herd of elephants ambling past slowly, this
refreshing and zesty drink is the perfect sundowner.
The Donyo Dawa

IN G RED IEN TS
· 1 lime (large)
· 6 or 8 ice cubes (crushed)
· 2 tots of vodka
· 1 tablespoon of honey to taste (add more if you
like it on the sweeter side)
· A handful of mint
IN STRU CTION S
1: Cut half the lime into quarters and squeeze the other half
of lime into the glass.
2: Add the honey
3: Use the wooden stick (or spoon if you don’t have a Dawa
stick) and crush the mint and chopped lime and mix in with
the honey. This stick is often known as the magic stick as it
dissolves and crushes the flavours together.
4: Crush the ice cubes and place into the glass
5: Add the vodka
6: Mix all ingredients in the glass together well with the stick.
Top it up with soda water if you wish or add more

lime or honey to taste.
GREAT PLAINS SELINDA CAMP
B OTSWA N A
For those looking for a non-alcoholic option, Great Plains Selinda Camp Manager and mixology enthusiast Michael Jones
has shared his signature mocktail: The Tea & Tonic (T&T).
The T&T takes the flavour of tea, a little bit of lemon, a little bit of lemon juice and a great tonic, combines them into a
refreshing drink that wouldn’t be missed at an African Sundowner, afternoon tea, lunch or even first thing before a morning
game drive! This mocktail made with rooibos can be adapted to any tea and any good tonic. As this is a sugar syrup the
lemon juice and tonic water helps to break some of the sweetness, so add as much lemon juice as you like.
The Tea & Tonic Mocktail

ING R ED IENT S
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Cup Water
4 Rooibos Tea Bags
15ml Fresh Lemon (or to taste)
1x 275ml Barker & Quin Indian Tonic
EQ U IPM ENT
Saucepan
Tumbler/ shallow jam jar
INST R U CT IO NS
1: Combine brown sugar and water to a saucepan, boil
and ensure the sugar has dissolved. Add the tea bags
and slightly reduce.
2: Remove from the heat and allow to sit for an hour
or two; the longer it’s left the more concentrated the
flavour. This makes about half a cup of syrup.
3: Take 45ml of your rooibos syrup and add to a tumbler
(or, as in the photo, use a shallow jam jar). Add the lemon
juice, top off with ice and pour the tonic over the ice.
4: Garnish with a slice of lemon peel and stir to combine.
HILTON LAKE COMO

IN G RED IEN TS
Vermouth Rosso: 30ml
Campari bitter: 30ml
Gin: 30ml
Extras: Orange peel, dried thyme, ice
IN STRU CTION S
1: Mix - Pour all the ingredients into a rock glass filled with ice.
2: Stir - Stir the cocktail for 15 seconds until it’s well chilled.
3: Garnish - Garnish with a strip of orange peel.
4: Burn - Burn the slightly dried thyme, add to the glass, and
cover with a glass bell
You can use any glass container that is large enough to cover the
glass. For the perfect Lake Como experience, Hilton Lake Como
suggests infusing the thyme into the gin for at least 36-48 hours.

MIKOH
www.shop.mikoh.com
Mikoh is the collaboration of the sister duo Oleema and Kalani Miller. Born
and bred in the small beach town of San Clemente in Orange County,
California, Oleema and Kalani grew up with the ocean in their backyard.
The Mikoh line is their statement on swimwear for the modern woman,
inspired by a life spent in bikinis and oceans around the world.
Mikoh is synonymous with feminity, beauty and strength. The line fuses
statement prints and colours from around the world with luxurious fabrics
and modern fits. Each bikini is designed to easily mix and match for
one-of-a-kind styles. The collection has grown to include swimwear,
ready-to-wear beach cover-ups, clothing for the traveller and the dreamer,
and mikoh x surf, a line of surf-ready pieces in smartly cut neoprene.
Mikoh is a vision of swimwear for the certain woman who knows who she
is—if not where she’s going next.
Oleema and Kalani were raised in a family of surfers, designers and lovers
of the sea. Both were encouraged to explore creativity and self-expression
—Oleema through her passion for all things fashion, Kalani with a
paintbrush in hand. Creative expression was the spirit of the household
and the water was a second home. As teens, the sisters surfed and
modelled, travelled, lived swimsuit to swimsuit. Kalani’s path led to
university while Oleema took to the road. Mikoh brought them together
in creativity, inspired by the things they’d seen and learned on their
journey—newfound friends, foreign beaches, distant cultures.
The Mikoh brand was born of this lifestyle: swimwear for the
confident modern woman, unique and wearable at home and
abroad. Its name derives from the girls’ last name, Miller, as well
as the first initial of Kalani and Oleema and their younger sister’s
name, Hana. In Japanese, Miko is a term that once meant “female
shaman” or “female prophecy.”
