In a season that’s usually long on tradition, the new Holiday edition of T is instead all about fresh starts. Beginning with our cover stars, the Hollywood power couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes — the magazine’s print edition has two different covers, half featuring Cruise and half Holmes, both shot by Solve Sundsbo — it’s a riot of redux, from a head-tripping essay on great moments in reinvention (from Jesus to J.F.K.) to articles on the new and improved Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, the ever-changing homes of Karl Lagerfeld, a resort town in Kenya that’s gone all dolce vita and dinner with the design remasterer Martino Gamper. Our Originals portfolio spotlights the cultural creatives of Japan, the most innovation-obsessed country on the planet, while the photographer Camilla Akrans chimes in with a new spin on Carmen Miranda, and Erwan Frotin thoroughly retools T’s annual gift guide. Now that’s change we can believe in.

 

 The latest travel issue of T Magazine kicks off the season with a winter wonderland (the cover photograph was taken in Ilulissat, Greenland, high above the Arctic Circle), then spans the globe to cover destinations both cool and hot. We survey the booming art scene in Tel Aviv and boutique-hop through a rising Los Angeles shopping hub. We get to know the kooky side of Osaka, Japan, and take the temperature in London’s hippest hood. (It’s all about neighborhoods, didn’t you know?) Read the rest of this entry »

A hanging light by the artist Jorge Pardo illuminates the cover of the new Design & Living issue of T, in more ways than one. The magazine examines the various ways in which art and design intersect, both in living with art and the art of living. We take a look at the tradition of artists hanging their work in restaurants; investigate the under-the-radar cool of Brussels; and visit an artist at home and at work in Beijing.

The new issue of T Magazine speaks in a thick French accent. In addition to the cover story on the actress Eva Green, we feature a portfolio of Gallic stars, including Carla Bruni, Vincent Cassel and the euphoniously named Clémence Poésy. Elsewhere, Cathy Horyn profiles Balmain’s Christophe Decarnin whose brand of louche glamour has the style world enamored; Daphne Merkin interviews the art-world provocateuse Sophie Calle; Christopher Petkanas remembers the decorator Madeleine Castaing; and Catherine Deneuve muses on her favorite trench coat.
