Packaged in a beautifully illustrated cover by Roman designer Andrea Mongia, and in partnership with the FT Weekend Festival, we bring you the latest across culture, style, travel, food and drink and more.
This issue, Charlotte Metcalf sits down with the inimitable author Margaret Drabble following the publication of her latest novel to reflect on her accomplished and complicated life.
Looking globally, Simon Brooke investigates how luxury houses are turning their gaze to India, inspired by its rich culture, design traditions and ever-growing cohort of wealthy consumers. Nina Caplan, on the other hand, spotlights Argentina and its bounty of wine produced at altitude and against the spectacular snow-capped backdrop of the Andes Mountains.
Travel, of course, is the top of the agenda this time of year. Jonathan Bell casts his gaze over the new design-led sailing vessels finally making cruise trips chic, while Jemima Sissons lives la vie en rose and takes a spin to the south of France in a Bentley Bentayga Speed, unearthing the best places to stay.
Elsewhere, Ben McCormack considers how the counter has transformed from the place you were shunted off to when you couldn’t get a table to the most sought-after spot in London restaurants. At home, Zoe Dare Hall discusses the new must-have features for high-net-worth owners: speakeasy bars, private libraries and cigar rooms.
