When I speak with Jonathan Anderson on a recent afternoon, he has just returned from vacation in the Spanish Pyrenees, where he was struck by the terrain’s cypress tree-dotted hills. “From a distance they become these amazing architectural feats, but when you’re in situ on them you don’t realize that the land is tiered, like a wedding cake…” muses the 36-year-old creative director, who has been inspired time and again by the wonders of plant life. Loewe’s new vegetable-inspired interior scents collection—the idea for which originated while Anderson was strolling the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, outside of London—is the latest manifestation of this passion.
Usually the site of the annual and highly-anticipated Cranberry Festival, a visit to Milestone Cranberry Bog is a look into the 200-year legacy of cranberry farming on Nantucket. It’s also a uniquely fall-friendly destination, as the peak season for cranberry harvesting lasts from late September through October. Free group tours of up to eight people will be given twice-daily, led by third-generation cranberry bog manager Nick Larabee, and interpretive education coordinator, Nick Foley. For those looking to be inspired by and try their hand at recreating local traditions like the Sailors Valentine, shaker sewing carriers, and caned chairs, The Nantucket Historical Association’s Whaling Museum offers small group classes during the week from Monday to Thursday. This newly-launched concept led by the island’s non-profit film and cultural center invites visitors to take a step back in time and enjoy a film from their hatchback.
