The latter months of the year prompt the inevitable wardrobe shift – whether unpacking wool sweaters from storage or embracing envelopment with scarves, gloves and hats. Though it is outerwear which often provides the greatest conundrum when it comes to wintertime dressing – and, indeed, the greatest investment.

As seen in the December 2026 issue of Wallpaper*, photographer Luca Campri and stylist Camilla Sossi take to the streets of Milan with a selection of the A/W 2026 season’s best outerwear – from a colourful quilted leather gilet from Maximilian Davis at Ferragamo (its intriguing fastenings are inspired by the house’s Gancini motif) to the ultimate shaggy shearling from Louise Trotter at Bottega Veneta (its teddy-bear proportions will help you face even the harshest of winter days).

Captured in a series of spontaneous portraits of model Annabelle Weatherly, the prevailing mood is one of nostalgic elegance – albeit with a contemporary frisson. A double-breasted overcoat by Michael Rider at Celine captures the Parisian house’s bourgeois roots (here teamed with a requisite roll-neck sweater), while a Miu Miu Harrington jacket is crafted from classic herringbone wool (worn with a pillbox hat and ladylike top-handle handbag).

Elsewhere, moments of texture and play enliven traditional silhouettes: a slouchy Chloé parka comes in slices of shearling and tartan; a caped Carven coat is trimmed with the tassels one might find on a blanket; while a super-chunky Louis Vuitton sweater doubles as outerwear. Like their menswear counterparts, each embraces the idea of ‘character dressing’ – ‘the changing of the fashion seasons gives one a chance to craft a new persona’, we wrote earlier this month of A/W 2026’s best men’s looks.

‘I think I’ll remember this story as the first time I truly made peace with the city I live in,’ says Campri, who is currently working on a book ‘celebrating everyday domestic moments’. ‘For years, I’d been photographing stories here without ever feeling completely at ease, but this time, it inspired me in a whole new way.’

Ian Schrager has spent decades creating legendary entertainment and hospitality spaces, from New York City’s renowned nightclub Studio 54 to lifestyle hotels like Delano Miami Beach and EDITION Hotels. His latest venture brings that same verve and vision to West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. Demonstrating his well-honed skill for writing (and continually rewriting) the playbook on boutique hotels that are often imitated, never duplicated, PUBLIC West Hollywood opens as an alluring, exciting and theatrical addition to the scene, full of drama and delight. Because as Sharger puts it 'if it’s not unique, why bother?'

What’s on your doorstep?

Located in West Hollywood – an autonomous city within Greater Los Angeles synonymous with boozy brunches, nightlife and Pride parades – PUBLIC West Hollywood sits on the Sunset Strip, bringing fresh energy to an area defined by iconic Hollywood haunts such as Chateau Marmont and The Tower Bar.

The hotel is also well placed for exploring the west side. Sushi Park, a favourite among Hollywood’s A-list, is a 10-minute walk away, while Rodeo Drive’s luxury boutiques and Melrose Avenue’s independent shops are around a 15-minute drive. Architecture enthusiasts can head into the hills to catch a glimpse of two very different LA landmarks: Pierre Koenig’s midcentury modernist masterpiece, the Stahl House, and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Mayan Revival Storer House.

Who is behind the design?

The aesthetic narrative for PUBLIC West Hollywood is a collaboration between Shrager, architects John Pawson and Alan Bell, and interior designers Francois Champsaur, Aurore Rouillay and ISC Design Studio. The result is cohesive yet dynamic, surprising and sophisticated. Every detail feels thoughtful and intentional, but there’s still a sense of levity and playfulness, a slight subversive edge.

Three metallic magenta sculptures commissioned by artist Anselm Reyle replace a check-in desk in the glossy lobby, which also features a custom Bianco Neve marble billiard table, a 19th-century mahogany Grandfather clock lacquered white with an Yves Klein blue tassel and Salvador Dali-designed Muletas floor lamps.

The pool bar flaunts bespoke Francois Champsaur sofas and lounge chairs in solid oiled teak with pink cotton fabric imported from Italy, a 51-foot-long mural inspired by Fernand Leger’s original work, 'Les Danseuses' at La Colombe d’or in Saint-Paul-de-Venice and lush foliage.

At Studio, a custom-designed John Pawson black scalloped bar, black velvet curtains and digital screens displaying subtly moving operetta portraits sets the mood.

Truly, no moment to make an impression is missed. Even the hallways leading to the guest rooms are illuminated in red, blue or green, depending on the floor.

The room to book

When it’s time to call it a night, the rooms are a crisp white refuge from the colour and curated chaos. All the accommodations are minimally minded, kitted with plush beds, blackout drapery and a projection screen and laser display projector for film screenings (should you go all out on the after-dark antics and need some recovery time). The pool-facing categories have private terraces with seating for enjoying daytime views and nightly poolside programming.

Staying for drinks and dinner?

Ian Schrager is quick to tell you what Public West Hollywood doesn’t have – and that’s a fancy restaurant with a big-name chef. Much like the New York outpost, there’s an all-day cafe for fresh-baked pastries, daytime fare (salads, sandwiches and bowls) and coffee. Ultimately, the property is conceived as a destination for drinking and dancing. When hunger hits after the sun goes down, the colourful pool bar serves seasonal sustenance such as little gem salads and mezze plates to pair with margaritas, martinis and signature sips.

The open-air rooftop terrace comes alive with well-dressed patrons sipping wine and cocktails, alongside panoramic vistas of Los Angeles. And if the mood takes you, you'll find a DJ spinning tunes in on-site nightclub Studio, a playful nod to Schrager's legendary New York nightlife roots.

Where to switch off

At first glance, Public West Hollywood feels more like a place you’d turn up than switch off, but beneath the shiny facade of revelry is a less obvious, though no less well-thought-out, undercurrent of relaxation. Rather than a dedicated spa, the hotel offers a full roster of in-room treatments, ranging from deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, sports and prenatal massages, facials, manicures and pedicures, hair and makeup services and IV drips – it's LA, after all.

The rooftop has daily complimentary wellness and fitness classes, a full shaded outdoor gym, sun beds, picnic tables, ping pong, swings and seesaws.

While the pool isn’t exactly a quiet refuge (after all, there’s a moveable DJ booth), it’s still a brilliant place to plop down on a daybed beneath the shade of a white fringe umbrella and take a dip, surrounded by tall hedges and native California greenery.

The Verdict

At a time when Scandi minimalism has overtaken the global hotel scene, resulting in sleek spaces that all too often fall flat, both energetically and aesthetically, Public West Hollywood provides an exuberant antidote. It’s a place full of colour, enthusiasm and zest – yet with rooms quiet enough to ensure a good night’s sleep.

Public West Hollywood is located at 8300 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069, United States

At first glance, this space looks like an elevated ‘garage’ gym. However, upon further inspection, there are black velvety sofas, a stocked pantry area, and bespoke speakers, all surrounded by state-of-the-art Technogym equipment. ‘Crosby Reset’ is a new installation (located at 8 Rue des Beaux Arts in Paris), conceived by the fitness equipment juggernaut and Harry Nuriev, founder of ​Crosby Studios.

Inside 'Crosby Reset' with Technogym

Nuriev, who has recently designed Clive Christian’s new London flagship and a one-of-a-kind seat for the Virgil Abloh Foundation auction, was keen to create a space that sat at the intersection between movement and the creative environment – in particular, raising a magnifying glass on how this shapes the way people live and work. The idea is an embodiment of Nuriev’s philosophy of ‘Transformism’: instead of constantly producing new ideas, he works with what already exists.

‘For me, wellness has moved far beyond taking care of my body. It has become part of how I work,’ shares Nuriev. ‘Some of my clearest creative moments happen when I am training, moving, or recovering, when I am completely in the present. I wanted my [home] environment to reflect that reality. It is not a home with a studio and a gym inside it. It is a creative and wellness landscape that I happen to live in.’

The installation doesn't confine wellness to one designated area, but instead immerses it into everyday living. Rather than placing fitness equipment into a traditional domestic space, Nuriev has done the reverse and placed living elements within the workout space. Sleek black gym equipment is placed alongside jet-black furnishings, storage, and pantries – all set against the backdrop of distressed, austere walls.

The gym equipment is anything but performative. Among the curated selection of Technogym products is the brand’s ‘Kinesis Vision’, a functional training solution that combines technology, design and function to enable more than 200 exercises. The installation also features Technogym Run, a treadmill that offers an immersive training experience; there is also a variety of dumbbells and kettlebells. Technogym’s ‘Personal Rack’ is an all-in-one storage and strength-training station that helps to merge living with training. Bespoke speakers are the final touch, designed by Crosby Studios for audio brand Silence Please.

Ultimately, in an ever more time-poor society, the collaborative installation presents the idea of placing the creative studio, gym, and living space in one area. Either resulting in an optimisation overload, or perhaps the answer to future living.

‘Crosby Reset’ is located at 8 Rue des Beaux Arts, 75006 Paris, open until February 2027

Aman has found a new way to raise the stakes in luxury hospitality. The hotel group is joining forces with tennis champion Novak Djokovic on ATMA, a new global brand built around sport, wellness and longevity. Its first project is a 1,049ft tower on Miami's waterfront, complete with a 120,000 sq ft wellness centre, indoor tennis and padel courts, a private marina and a collection of residences.

Announced this week, ATMA marks a new direction for the hotel group, bringing elite sporting expertise into its established world of design-led hospitality. Djokovic, who becomes the brand's Global Partner, will oversee its longevity, nutrition, racquet and wellness programming, drawing on the knowledge accumulated over his professional tennis career. The idea is to bring elements of an elite athlete's training and recovery regime into everyday life, with facilities and programming designed around long-term health and performance.

Miami is the first location, with ATMA set to occupy a waterfront site in Brickell, the city's financial district. Developed by OKO Group and Oak Row Equities, the project will rise alongside the five-mile Baywalk on Brickell Bay Drive, with far-reaching views across Biscayne Bay.

The architecture comes from SHoP Architects, whose sculptural tower will feature curved balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows rising above a landscaped podium. Studio Paolo Ferrari is responsible for the interiors, bringing together organic forms, carefully engineered details and furniture shaped around the human body. Lighting and ambience will also be calibrated to respond to the circadian rhythms of residents and guests.

The real scale of the proposition becomes apparent in the wellness facilities. At 120,000 sq ft, the spa and wellness centre is set to be among Miami's largest. It will include a high-performance fitness centre, private and group training studios, mobility and conditioning labs, a medical wellness centre and dedicated recovery spaces.

Away from the training schedule, ATMA Miami will have a more sociable side, with nutrition-led dining, restaurants, live music bars and dedicated entertainment and events spaces. The development will also include one-to-five bedroom residences, alongside six-bedroom penthouses at the top of the tower. Owners will have access to a private pool, fitness and yoga studios, thermal spa facilities, a residents' lounge and co-working space, as well as priority nomination to the invitation-only ATMA Club.

For Aman, which has spent the past 38 years building a reputation around considered design and exceptional service, ATMA represents an exciting new chapter – and a serious step into the business of wellbeing.

Its first Miami outpost is scheduled for completion in 2031.

One night during Eha’s four-day retreat, a member of the small 30-person staff told a story: in ancient times, people of Hiiumaa (the island off the Estonian coast where Eha is located) believed that the North Star held up the sky. Living in fear that one day the star might move and cause the sky to collapse, they built teepee-like structures to live in, made from the towering trees that populate most of the island. The belief was that the pointed top would protect them from the sky if it did eventually fall and hole through its centre to monitor the star’s location.

The legacy of that ancient belief is woven into the structure of Eha’s very modern wellness retreat. A eleven-like retreat located along the Baltic coast, Eha is a minimalist, house-like structure with pitched roofs, light-wash wood interiors, and expansive views of the region’s rugged, otherworldly landscape with its seemingly infinite view of the Baltic Sea and its dramatic, reed-filled coastline. The effect is a deliberate reminder, wherever you are within Eha, that you are in Estonia.

Of course, the Baltic country is not an obvious choice for a wellness retreat, which are often associated with sunny beaches or mountainous Swiss clinics. But that is precisely Eha’s point: by creating a retreat grounded in the traditions and landscape of the region, the Eha offers its visitors a novel approach to finding a healthier body, and a calmer mind, behind its doors.

The programming at Eha is structured around Hiiumaa’s five seasons, adding ‘Springrise,’ the season between end of winter and the arrival of Spring, into the traditional four-season mix. Each period has its own distinct philosophy, which informs the food that is served, wellness treatments offered in the spa, exercise classes, and guided experiences offered in the resort's saunas, steam rooms and hydrotherapy pools. During Autumn, for instance, a season Eha associates with grounding and preparing for rest, practices are designed to help guests let go of what has passed during the year so far. There is a post-dinner sound bath session, one-to-one sound bowl and lymphatic drainage massages, energy and fascia flow sessions in the morning, and a traditional sauna whisk using birch twigs gathered in the forest. Then, there is the food, which is one of the most impressive aspects of the Eha experience.

Using only ingredients sourced from the island, chef Peeter Pihel, constructs an ever-changing menu that uses only a few ingredients to create Michelin-level dishes. Served as a buffet-style for breakfast and lunch, and family-style during dinner, a recent Autumn-focused menu included dishes like homemade rye bread, yogurt with plum compote and eggs from local chickens for breakfast; pumpkin gnocchi and tender steak for lunch; and, for dinner, white fish harvested from the ocean right outside the dining room’s window, a warming beetroot and cheese broth, a roasted root vegetable salad, to name just a few.

The structure of Eha’s two night, four day retreat, strikes a good balance between being structured and loose, with everyone receiving a schedule upon arrival that details the times for morning workout sessions, meals, and treatments, with plenty of time built in for guests to relax as they please, whether that be taking a walk along one of the forest trails behind the retreat; relaxing in the private living room area within every room; or using the sauna, steam room, hot tubs or pool at one’s leisure (an outdoor swim in the heated pool overlooking the Baltic is particularly recommended during cold weather seasons).

Hiiumaa is an island roughly the size of Singapore that is populated by only 10,000 people, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve dominated by forests and marshlands. It’s a serene, secluded atmosphere that permeates every aspect of the Eha experience. The design of the space to be almost like a large house, with a communal living room and dining room, and a no-phone, no-shoes (slippers are provided for every guest) policy that gently compels guests to step away from routine habits and find solace in a new environment that feels both distinctly foreign and just like a home.

Hotel brand The Luxury Collection has unveiled an exquisite limited-edition advent calendar created in collaboration with artist and designer Laila Gohar (a former Wallpaper* guest editor), the company’s Epicurean Global Explorer. Discerning travellers are invited to discover The Luxury Collection’s diverse portfolio of hotels and resorts through the sensory experience of very fine chocolate.

The advent calendar – available in the US from The Luxury Collection and in the UK and select countries through Gohar World – presents a culinary round-the-world trip with 24 destinations. Each of its numbered drawers slides open to reveal an enticing chocolate bar, with each bar celebrating a different Luxury Collection hotel; from The Gritti Palace in Venice to The Laurus in Singapore.

The spirit and cultural identity of the locations are expressed, deliciously, through the flavour notes in the chocolate. Your journey will take you, for instance, to Waikiki with flavours of banana and sea salt. Another day, you will stop off in Los Cabos, tasting smoked mesquite and dates; arriving at The Prince de Galles in Paris, you will enjoy rich hazelnut praline.

The chocolate nestled within the calendar has been created for The Luxury Collection by Casa Bosques, the acclaimed Mexican brand known for its bean-to-bar production of organic single-origin bars. It uses rare heirloom cacaos sourced from farmers across Mexico and an unconventional and exciting range of spices and flavourings from around the world.

Illustrated by Joana Avillez, the calendar takes the form of a grand hotel. The façade opens to reveal a gallery of quirky, joyful, festive scenes, and the requisite 24 drawers – portals to just a selection of The Luxury Collection’s 130-plus hotels and resorts in 42 countries.

Bruce Rohr, vice president and global brand leader of The Luxury Collection, says: ‘This imaginative collaboration celebrates the destination-inspired flavours and culinary traditions found across our global portfolio, offering a transportive journey through the cultures and stories that make each place distinct.’

Gohar’s creative vision for the calendar is extended to a series of pop-up chocolate shops located in key Luxury Collection destinations, including Paris, Nashville, Singapore and Los Cabos. Their design was inspired by traditional Parisian chocolatiers and Milanese apothecaries and features glass vitrines with chocolate-hued swags of drapery and banks of wooden drawers.

Gohar comments: ‘Each drawer is a small world of its own, inspired by the flavours, traditions, and details that make destinations so special at this time of year. I hope each discovery sparks curiosity and joy.’

The advent calendar can be purchased through The Luxury Collection in the US, Gohar World in select countries internationally, and at select hotel pop-ups.
