Welcome to Vogue’s first-ever spa guide—a compendium of the 100 best spas worldwide, pulling from the expertise of our global editors. There is a lot out there in the world of wellness, and we are here to sort the cryo from the cold plunge, the infrared light treatment from the IV infusion. Or if your path is a more holistic one—there’s something for you here as well. Why go here? You might not think of Amsterdam as a wellness capital, with its historic inclination to ignite THC rather than appl…

There is a scene in Babes, the new film directed by Pamela Adlon and written by Ilana Glazer and Josh Rabinowitz, in which Eden (Glazer) and her best friend, Dawn (Michelle Buteau), confront their differing assessments of their relationship. They are committed to each other, but at different places in their lives. Eden is expecting her first child (the friends are on a kind of weekend babymoon) and leaning on Dawn for support, even suggesting that she move into the bottom floor of Dawn’s brownst…

How often do you finish a novel, only to find yourself flipping back to the first page and thinking, I really ought to start that all over again? Alina Grabowski’s debut Women and Children First, a new and remarkable book (out this week) from SJP Lit, Sarah Jessica Parker’s imprint at Zando books, prompts that kind of reading. Set in a struggling New England town, the novel unfolds through interlocking stories—something like Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge or Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the…

This month, more than a hundred years after that premiere, a new iteration of Prometheus will unfold at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco—one that involves not just color but scent as well, with three distinct fragrances released at key moments throughout the performance.

Tom Chapman, the co-founder of MatchesFashion, has a friend who throws what he deems the best pizza parties in America. So when this friend’s birthday came around, the entrepreneur knew what to give him: a hand-forged Ben Bodman pizza wheel made with Damascus steel. “The best pizza cutter for the best pizza-maker,” he tells me when we chat in Chapman’s hometown of London. This is Chapman’s philosophy when it comes to gifting—you have to know the person, and you have to think hard about what will…

This fall, the fruits of those efforts, as well as those of his co-curator Suzanne Pagé, can be seen at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, where the first retrospective in France since 1999 has brought together some 115 works. The show, aptly titled “Mark Rothko,” will be up until April of next year. “Exhibiting such a broad, thorough, and representative set of works,” Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH, writes in the catalog, “is the fulfillment of a long-standing personal wish.” When…

The photographer Mayan Toledano didn’t expect to make a second home for herself when she started visiting Mexico City. But she felt at ease there, and started going several times a year. “Suddenly I had people, friends there. Suddenly I had a mini life somewhere else,” she tells me earlier this fall. Whenever she left, she felt the urge to return: “I need to come back and water these new flowers in my life.” That sense of community is reflected in Mayan Toledano: No Mames, out this month from Da…

“By the age of 8 most children have known someone with cancer. Children are very matter of fact, but if they do not ask a question it does not mean that they do not have a question.”
