It’s 4 p.m. in Dublin and Róisín Pierce has a migraine. Yet, the 25-year-old designer pops onto the Zoom screen smiling, her dark red hair framing her face against an all-white backdrop. She’s signing on from her “kitchen-y” home studio space, a smattering of headless mannequins against the back wall. It’s hard to tell, squinting through a small screen, but each is draped in one of the designer’s ethereal, artisanal creations. Pierce’s clothing has an angelic, otherworldly quality, and not just because she works primarily with white fabric. The shape and texture of each item, as it rests on the body of the wearer, is surprising in its dexterity. Some pieces seem almost as if fresh whipped cream has been laced and drawn in interlocking shapes around the body. Others are…

After Gertrude Stein uttered her now famous words to Robert Graves: “Majorca is a paradise – if you can stand it,” the British poet moved to the island’s small village of Deià in 1929. “I found everything I wanted as a background to my work as a writer,” Graves wrote: “Sun, sea, mountains, spring water, shady trees, no politics, and a few civilized luxuries such as electric light and a bus service to Palma.” He wasn’t the only one who fell under Mallorca’s spell; other artists and writers, such as Joan Miró and Anaïs Nin, have also called Mallorca their home. As mass tourism picked up in the 1950s and beach resorts began to develop in busier parts of the island, Mallorca became a popular tourist destination, but surprisingly—if improbably—local…

In a Venetian garden on an April evening, Ivy Getty’s face stands out in the darkness like a James Whistler portrait. Clad in a timeless Chanel jacket, she wears bold ‘60s-style eyeliner à la Veruschka, Jean Shrimpton, and Twiggy, and a bun that is equal parts messy and glamorous. It’s been five months since her wedding to photographer Tobias Engel—a happy moment for Getty since losing both her father, John Gilbert Getty, an eccentric musician, as well as her beloved grandmother, Ann Getty, a publisher, philanthropist, anthropologist, and interior designer, in 2020. “It was really exciting to have my family and all my friends from all over the world together. Everyone got along perfectly and now there are friendships forever made from the wedding, and I love that,” she says. Speaker…

The measurement of time is used for more than clocking a record speed or the finesse of a performance, but also estimates the depth of a relationship consolidated over years. This ode to tenderness is what the new iterations of Omega timepieces seem to whisper, in a myriad of new models with a sophisticated palette of subtle shades. The precision models, well known to adventurers in search of marine (think of the Ultra Deep watches that made history in 2019 by reaching the deepest point on the planet) or space (the Speedmaster was the first watch worn on the moon) exploration, reveal a more intimate aspect of their personality. Take, for example, the Constellation line. This family of watches launched in 1952 in homage to the countless precision records broken by Omega…

L’OFFICIEL: How would you describe Festen’s DNA? HUGO SAUZAY: This is the hardest question because it is never easy to put our work into words. But if we have to summarize, we are an interior design agency that works on existing buildings whose history we reinvent. Our job is a link between what happened, what is happening, and what will happen later. We don’t want to impose a style. We work mainly with natural materials, and we have a local approach. We want to be consistent and fair with the projects we are offered. We also like imperfection, patina; things that are not too perfect. CHARLOTTE DE TONNAC: We renovate spaces without any pastiche. We make adjustments, never a “total look.” HS: We like to compose and remain fairly free in our choices. The…
