Q: What inspired the Sozzani Award and what does it aim to achieve?
The award was created to support independent young designers who maintain personal vision in a landscape dominated by big groups; it seeks voices that stay independent and true to their craft, recognizing the difficulty of breaking through and providing a platform for those with original perspectives.
Zoë de Givenchy on the art of hosting. Plus: Photography in Japan and France

Holistic hospitality on the most tranquil of Spain’s Balearics
Q: What was your approach to wellness for the hotel, and how is it integrated into the experience?
