Over the years, he’s also written for Vogue, NYLON, Dazed & Confused, i-D, and elsewhere. These days, he mainly writes about all things travel, from city guides to hotel reviews, and would rather spend time with his elderly cat (or be in Tokyo!) than be at a fashion party.Published in: New York Magazine, Vogue, i-D, NYLON, ELLE, HYPEBAE, Coveteur, Dazed & Confused, L’Officiel, PAPER, VICE, InsideHook, and A Hotel Life, among other publications.
