Contributors Brad Ogbonna Brooklyn-based photographer Brad Ogbonna captured some of the season's most tactile looks in this issue's fashion feature, "The Escape Artist." The Minnesota-born creative has lent his lens to publications including The New York Times, W, New York Mag, GQ and The Atlantic. "After spending months tucked away in a one-mile radius—after years of being on the road—it was such a freeing feeling to be able to return to work on a project that not only took me outside, but also allowed me to collaborate with warm, creative people once again. Those are the things that make what we do for a living so special." Fanny Singer Fanny Singer is a writer, curator and co- founder of the design brand, Permanent Collection. In March, her first book, "Always Home: A Daughter's Recipes and Stories," was published by Knopf. In 2015, she and her mother, Alice Waters, published "My Pantry," which she also illustrated. She contributes to publications including WSJ Magazine, Apartamento, Artforum, Frieze and T Magazine. "I met Aminatou last year at a mutual friend's house—one of those loose gatherings with delicious home-cooked food, the memory of which now seems so remote. A year on, having both published books in the midst of a pandemic, we hopped on the phone to chat about friendship, and just how critical a touchstone it is in these times." BRIGITTE LACOMBE (SINGER) Will Kahn Will Kahn is a jewelry consultant, editor, stylist and creator of @willsnotebook. He has served as jewelry director of Moda Operandi and as an editor at both Town & Country and W. @willsnotebook, which The New York Times described as one of "the top jewelry Instagrams to follow," inspired this issue's jewelry feature, "Pencil This In." "I'll never forget walking the halls of Bal Harbour Shops during the first few months of Covid (en route to Hillstone for pick up, naturally)—the walkways and koi ponds were empty, but the palm trees and orchids were still lush and just being there made me feel better," says Kahn, pictured at Bulgari, Bal Harbour Shops. 52 BAL HARBOUR
