Editors
Chloe Schama is a senior editor at American Vogue, based in New York, where she covers a little bit of all things culture, and enjoys dipping her toes in the culture of wellness. She can’t stand a sauna, but loves a swim, and had a line item on her early-20s budget that read “manicures.” Gardening is her main wellness activity.
Florence O’Connor is the associate content manager for Vogue.com. When she isn’t building stories or managing budgets, she enjoys writing about all things lifestyle, wellness, and weddings. Although she is based out of the New York office, Florence will take any chance she can get to run home to England and sneak a stay at a countryside hotel—a hot tub in the middle of a field is her happy place!
Contributors
Tamar Adler is the author of Feast On Your Life and three other books about cooking. She’s a contributing editor to Vogue and lives in Madrid with her family.
Margaux Anbouba is American Vogue’s senior beauty and wellness editor. She still remembers the first time she sat down in a dermatologist’s office in fifth grade and has been curious about all things skin care, body, and wellness, since. She’s down to try anything—and loves to be scrubbed within an inch of her life at the local K-spa just as much as a caviar facial and bathing in red wine (yes, all of those are real treatments she’s tried at spas).
Arden Fanning Andrews, Vogue’s beauty editor at large, started her career with the magazine over a decade ago and loves connecting the dots between fashion, culture, art, and beauty. She counts walking through parks on her way to the office from her New York apartment as forest bathing, and taking an actual bath in her Chicago tub as hydrotherapy. She loves Traditional Chinese Medicine, the healing hands of massage therapists and facialists, and completely empty steam rooms. Her biggest beauty secret is sleeping, including once napping for hours in a curtained spa lounge at the Plaza Athenée after a red-eye flight.
Alessandra Codinha is a Los Angeles–based writer and editor with a background in fashion, cultural criticism, and luxury hospitality, who realized a few years into a new freelance career that she could spend most of it traveling and writing about it (including for her monthly Substack newsletter, Here We Go), and hasn’t looked back since. She tends to prefer spas and wellness experiences that incorporate nature, thinks absolutely everyone would benefit from breathwork, and has experienced enough truly great and really awful sound baths to come out absolutely neutral on the topic.
Grace Edquist is the copy director of Vogue US and a frequent contributor to the magazine’s arts coverage. When she isn’t fixing dangling modifiers or profiling an artist, she’s likely at her favorite Brooklyn yoga studio. She celebrated her 16th birthday at a spa and hasn’t looked back since.
Morgan Fargo is British Vogue’s beauty and wellness editor. You’ll find her at her desk (bathing in the glow of her in-office red light panel), resolutely marching through the park – rain or shine – or out in the wild discovering the buzziest new treatments and spaces. Spa-wise, she adores the fusion of cutting-edge technology married with holistic, whole-self wellness.
Funmi Fetto is British Vogue’s beauty and wellness director, which gives her the obvious privilege of experiencing and reviewing spas—she’s obsessed with saunas, steam rooms, and treatments and is a great believer in the power of technologically advanced facials. The less obvious part of her job is how much it intersects with style, art, beauty, and culture, giving her a very expansive idea of what constitutes wellness, a trip to an art gallery, shopping for vintage, and reading fiction all count. She is definitely not a believer in “no pain, no gain,” but likes to push the limits on how long she can last in hot yoga.
Liam Hess is American Vogue’s living editor, overseeing coverage of homes, travel, food, design, and weddings remotely from London. In terms of travel, he’s happiest exploring a new corner of southern Italy or heading somewhere deep in nature, whether a cruise down the Amazon or a sleeper train through the Malaysian jungle. And when it comes to spas, he’ll never turn down a deep tissue massage or a cold plunge—no pain, no gain.
Mattie Kahn is a writer based in New York, covering culture, politics, wellness, and developments in exfoliation. She loves spas, but hates manicures. She is generous enough to share that one of the best massages in New York can be found at Body Mechanics in Herald Square, which trades in “orthopedic massages.” The vibe is more strip mall PT office than Relais & Châteaux. Somehow, it’s perfect.
