Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty
There’s fashion. And then there’s Alexander McQueen. There are art exhibitions…And then there’s Savage Beauty at the V&A in London. Savage Beauty has raised the standard for all future V&A exhibitions to come.

Roadtrip in Iceland: The Golden Circle
After Reykjavik and our journey along the South coast we arrive at Nesjavellir for the last part of our road trip: The Golden Circle. This is probably the most touristy part of Iceland. Located conveniently close to Reykjavik, this route covers some of the country’s most impressive sights.

The moment I see Reykjavik disappearing in the rearview mirror of our rented car, I’m starting to feel different. The landscape is changing and our road trip has now officially started. You can’t compare a capital like Reykjavik to any other capital in Europe. It often feels more like a village than a city. But you don’t go to Iceland for its urban life, you come to explore its extreme and magical landscape. And that’s what we’re doing now. We’re hitting the main road (route 1), pressing play on our Iceland road trip playlist, still not knowing exactly what’s waiting for us along the way.
