Bal Harbour

OLIVIA LOPEZ Olivia Lopez is a creative strategist and writer based in LA. She is the founder of Bon Weekender, a story and studio space focused on travel through the lens of art and design, and the host of The Art of Travel podcast. This issue, Lopez shared a personal account of her frequent travels to Ibiza and what's new on the island. "Ibiza is often seen only as a party destination, but to me, it's what you can experience during the day that makes this island so special. Summer in Ibiza is deliciously drawn-out lunches, full-bellied afternoons, sea swims, and sunbathing. This ease of life is what holiday dreams are made of." ADRIENNE GAFFNEY Adrienne Gaffney is a writer and editor who writes for Elle, The Wall Street Journal, and Billboard. She lives in New York City and is a native of Massachusetts. For her first assignment for Bal Harbour, Gaffney interviewed Akris's creative director, Albert Kriemler. "It was such a joy to look at 100 years of Akris and to learn about the family spirit that's been quietly powering the brand for generations." C O N T R I B U T O R S RACHEL MARLOWE Originally from London, Rachel Marlowe is a writer and editor currently based in LA who has contributed to Vogue, W, and The London Times, covering food, fashion, beauty, and travel. She interviewed cover model Kristina Romanova, founder of Aman Essentials. "Amangiri has been on my must-visit list for several years, so it was great to chat with Kristina about the brand at large. While I can't yet claim to be an Aman junkie, I am a skincare junkie and I'm seriously impressed with their new skincare line." 52 BAL HARBOUR
