Don’t Call It a Gym. It’s a Sporting Club.

Jan 19, 2025 | taustralia.com.au | Sarah Gonzalez |Sarah Wood |Victoria Pearson

When the five-star Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland set out to design a fitness center that would appeal to its next generation of guests, its designers didn’t look to the future. Instead, they turned to the past — specifically, a Slim Aarons photograph titled “Tennis in the Bahamas, 1957.” The result is the Gleneagles Sporting Club, a retro, luxurious sports facility with ample courts, equestrian stables and a courtside lounge space.

"The brand is very much rooted in this aesthetic of country clubs and '80s sports clubs and gyms," said Ms. Oberg, noting that the New York Health and Racquet Club, which was founded in 1973, inspired her logo. She said the nostalgia Sporty & Rich tapped into seemed to be about more than just interior design. "Over the past 15 to 20 years, gyms have become solely focused on the fitness aspect, rather than the cultural or social aspect they used to have," she said.

It’s a sleepy August morning when I meet husband-and-wife design duo Mafalda Muñoz and Gonzalo Machado at their gallery Machado-Muñoz in Madrid’s Justicia, the fashionable barrio with a similar feel to Manhattan’s West Village. Muñoz and Machado met as teenagers in Madrid. Together for 16 years, they have been married for 11 and are parents to two children.

Early one morning in April 2023, eager shoppers lined up outside Taliesin West—the Arizona home where the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright once spent winters—now the headquarters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. They weren’t waiting for furniture; they were queued up to buy a limited edition pair of sneakers and garments from the brand Kith.
Why Closet Sales Are the Hottest Place to Shop Right Now

Sep 5, 2024 | elle.com | Sarah Wood

On May 14, 2023, an event changed the course of secondhand shopping forever: Chloë Sevigny hosted her closet sale. To be clear, she didn’t invent the concept of a closet sale, nor did she do it in a fundamentally different way. But on that fateful day, as shoppers gathered into a line that wrapped twice around a New York City block, the actress, model, and all-around cool girl ignited a fervor.

After moving internationally three times in the past five years, one thing I know to be true is that you can’t stay close to everyone you want to. Research proves it. British anthropologist Robin Dunbar’s theory “holds we can only really maintain about 150 connections at once” (BBC).

Edinburgh Fringe Round-Up: Recommendations for Shows, Shopping, and Snacking

Jul 28, 2024 | limminal.substack.com | Sarah Wood

Hello friends! With only a few days before August is with us, I wanted to share recommendations for Fringe, kindly provided by local friends and artists. Without trying to boil the ocean, I will preface that with some estimated 60,000+ performances over the next 30 days, there is A LOT going on and this is by no means a comprehensive guide. To anyone who might not know (horrifyingly me before moving to Edinburgh), Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world.
