Style Edit: Shiatzy Chen draws inspiration from orchids for SS27 at Paris Fashion Week

Florals don’t have to mean full bloom. For spring/summer 2027, Shiatzy Chen takes the orchid but looks beyond its purely decorative appeal to the proportions, movement and resilience of the plant.

Considering the number of tourists who visit every year, there aren’t many luxury hotels on Thailand’s Phi Phi Islands, possibly the result of stringent measures put in place in recent years to prevent overtourism. Outrigger Phi Phi Island Resort is thus a welcome new addition to the scene. Located on the northern tip of Phi Phi Don Island, the main island in the Phi Phi archipelago, this laid-back, unpretentious resort sits on the quiet shores of Laem Tong Beach, within a protected national...
