class="content__text" Here it is: @fthtsi ‘s spring travel issue, featuring a cracking Mumbai cover shoot by @vivekvad (with excellent accompanying essay by @jessberes ). You’ll find @christinaohlyevans in Aesthetic conversation with @thelizlambert ; @beatricehodgkin mapping the latest and greatest destination-inspired scents; @n_foulkes in full elegiac hilarity mode on the demise of the old-world hotel; @clarecoulson calling it on the Suffolk coast (the UK food destination to know these days, apparently); and a nice roundup of the hotels around the world in which @financialtimes@ft_weekend writers and contributors feel most at home. I wrote about #Singapore —can it finally assume the ‘Asia’s Capital of Cool’ title?? (The ft.com comments on that story make cockfighting in a Havana back alley look gracious, so I guess it’s a Topic.) And, I wrote about going to Morocco with my mom, one of the more poignant and meaningful trips I’ve ever taken. Link is in my bio and in my and HTSI’s stories today. The gorgeous photos (img 2) are by @l4artiste ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🇲🇦 . Huge and heartfelt thanks to @cwilmotsitwell@cazenove_and_loyd for helping mastermind this most precious of journeys for us (Chris Wilmot-Sitwell is your #morocco man, people); to @teyssierthierry for letting us live the @dar_ahlam fantasy; and to @philomenaschurermerckoll for welcoming us so warmly at @riadmena_pinkdoor , and for being her beautiful, generous self.
