SEBASTIAN DOLLINGER, Eton
Where are you off to?
I will be going to Japan for two weeks where I’ll visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and venture up Mount Fuji.
What are you most excited to do on this trip?
I’m most excited about going up Mount Fuji, visiting Zen temples and looking at traditional architecture.
What book or music will you bring along to help you unwind?
The two books will be Jiddu Krishnamurti’s The Only Revolution and Alan Watts’ autobiography In My Own Way. I will most likely be listening to a whole lot of Swedish music, such as Trail of Feathers and Ebba Grön. I always listen to Chopin, Tom Waits and Muddy Waters, and have been for years!
What is your must-pack item?
A black linen shirt with a button-down collar.
GIANLUCA ISAIA, Isaia
Where are you off to?
When you live two minutes away from your newly opened boutique on Capri, it is very hard to go anywhere else! I love having a coffee or aperitivo with our customers as they enhance their personal style and choose fabrics. I love seeing what they choose.
What else do you enjoy doing there?
In Capri the must-go spots are Blu Grotto, Aurora Restaurant for dinner, and the Axel Munthe villa.
What book or music will help you unwind?
Since I love live music, you will most likely find me at Taverna Anema e Core where the Neapolitan music is fantastic. Make sure to spend one crazy night there when you are in Capri.
What is your must-pack item?
I never leave without my handmade leather sandals. I even wear them with suits when it is not summer! (I think George Clooney tried to do this one time too... I will not say which one of us looked better.) We created an Isaia leather sandal that is simple, yet fun and elegant, that I take with me everywhere.
ARNOLD SILVERSTONE, Samuelsohn
Where are you off to?
No plans for the summer months, but each September I go to the Italian Alps to race with the Ferrari club, which is an incredible experience.
What are you most excited to do on this trip?
This past year I raced with the new Ferrari F12—a 700 horsepower, 12 cylinder powerhouse. Who knows what new toy they’ll have for me next September!
What book or music will you bring along to help you unwind?
The sound of the engine is my favorite music.
What are your must-pack items?
The Samuelsohn Performance 12-pocket blazer is my ultimate travel companion. It is wrinkle and water resistant, versatile and perfect for all occasions.
