While we’re just getting over the fact the British Summertime is well and truly over, the fashion world is already mapping out their summer getaways for next year. By way of their Cruise - or ‘Resort’ depending on who you ask - collections in May 2020. For Gucci's Cruise 2021 show it will be held in the U.S (though the exact location is still under wraps) and Giorgio Armani in Dubai while Miuccia Prada is heading to Japan. In need of some holiday inspo? Here’s BURO.’s Location, Location, location: The Fashion Edition…

UPCOMING…

Japan

Inspired by: Prada’s 2021 cruise show

What to do?

For a truly immersive (and ‘grammable) experience head to teamLab Borderless: billed as the first digital art museum.

Where to eat?

INUA dishes up Japanese seasonal ingredients with a Scandinavian approach. Headed up by Thomas Frebel, former head of recipe development at Copenhagen’s Noma (yes, the one featured in Netflix’s Chef’s Table).

WHERE TO SHOP?

Tokyo’s cult streetwear destination, GR8, features emerging designers from A-COLD-WALL* to RUE-L.

Dubai

What to do?

Check out mind-bending 3D installations and trippy photography at the Musuem of Illusions.

Where to eat?

For a brunch of champions, book a table at Turkish restaurant RUYA – think cinnamon-flavoured rice puddings and baklava. Divine.

Vintage fiends make your way to Reems Closet for pre-loved luxury.

IN RETROSPECT

Cuba

Inspired by: Chanel’s 2017 cruise show

For lit-lovers, head to the home of Ernest Hemingway in San Francisco de Paula Ward in Havana.

Where to eat?

Loved by Jack Nicholson and Madonna, La Guarida is like a trip back to the 1940s.

Habana 1791 perfume shop-cum-laboratory is scent-sational.

Los Angeles

Inspired by: Dior’s 2018 cruise show

What to do?

Get your culture fix at the Getty Villa in Malibu, which is home to more than 44,000 Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities. Book a (free) slot online in advance.

Where to eat?

If you’re looking for something a little less obvious than Chateau Marmont (though we love thee for a cocktail and people watching), Italian joint Gjelina in Venice is the perfect pick-me-up for a late lunch.

WHERE TO SHOP?

Our newly discovered gem: say hello to Hidden Treasures in Topanga. A thrifting oasis that Kate Moss and Lenny Kravitz are said to be huge fans of.

Monaco

Have a date with the Old (and new) Masters at Maison d’Art.

New York

Inspired by: Louis Vuitton’s 2020 cruise show

What to do?

After grabbing a sandwich from upper west side staple Zabar’s (the deli is seen in every classic New York rom-com), wonder down to the Guggenheim - the Robert Mapplethorpe retrospective, on until January 2020, is a must-see.

Where to eat?

The gelato shop of dreams - Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream in Soho. With no fewer than 88 flavours and combinations like ‘Pistaschio Black Current Jelly’ and ‘Salt ‘n’ Pepper Pine Nut’. More delicious than it sounds, we promise.

The Frankie Shop is our go-to for a curated mix of luxe staples and discovering rising independent labels across the globe.
