Designing the Decade | April ’26 Edition

From Thebe Magugu's defining vision to global style, heritage icons and destination dining, our April edition explores the trends, ideas, and tastemakers shaping the next chapter of luxury.

April marks the seasonal shift from summer to winter in the Southern Hemisphere. And as we bid farewell to long summer days and look ahead to cooler temperatures and cocooning, this issue presents the best of the Autumn/Winter trends.

We couldn’t think of anyone more fitting than designer and creative Thebe Magugu as our cover. In the most comprehensive interview since launching his brand a decade ago, he shares what inspired the Magugu Suite at Cape Town’s Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, what’s on his current music playlist, and how Magugu House is redefining retail spaces.

Join us on an extraordinary culinary voyage through Thailand, as we experience fine dining at some of Bangkok’s most celebrated Michelin-starred restaurants. And as the Louis Vuitton Monogram turns 130 this year, we explore the brand’s history and its global influence.

From the fashionable streets of Pitti Uomo, to the season’s latest trends, this issue delivers fashion, style, and the best in luxury living.
