Trips of a lifetime and how to travel sustainably.
We believe in going far – all the way to Bhutan, in the case of Virtuoso, The Magazine’s Australia/New Zealand November cover.
Design director, Melanie Fowler, and art director, Korena Bolding, travelled to the Himalayan Kingdom in pursuit of the image. Shot by Korena on location at Six Senses Thimphu Lodge, it showcases both the country’s gorgeous traditional side and Virtuoso’s boldly contemporary mood – a fitting kickoff for this issue, focused on trips of a lifetime and how to travel sustainably.

The Arts Issue
For our first-ever Arts Issue, we (mostly) skipped the museums in favour of ducking into the studios and ateliers of working artists. We met a lacquerware maker in Kyoto who combines an 11,000-year-old method and her Parisian training to create exquisite modern pieces. We spent time with a traditional Japanese paper-pattern carver who’s finding exciting new applications for his craft.
We stopped by a 200-year-old fine-jewellery workshop in Lisbon that’s still turning out tiaras but also leaning on contemporary collabs to make edgier pieces. As you page through this issue, we hope you find a feast for the eyes, a window into a world of creative feats, and a spark for future travels.
