For this issue, we excitedly celebrate joyful escapism. Lose yourself in the season’s mood of optimism, nostalgia and sensuality. From glorious resorts with memories of beach-bound adventures to mountain escapes that offer picturesque views and quiet retreats away from the hustle of everyday life, this issue sets out on several different journeys to inspire your next vacation. If you have your sights on a beach vacation and your search for new swim and resort wear is leaving you drowning in a sea of options, we have made the quest for sand and poolside excellence easier than ever. We have also sat down with our cover girl and aspirational Australian icon, Samantha Harris, about what is inspiring her now, how the last two years have changed her and where her future is headed.
