Chasing Slim Aarons + the Jet Set Life

March 10, 2017 Author: Sol

Today, Scott (our beloved Design Director) departs for Acapulco, Mexico. The trip is an homage to photographer Slim Aarons, who captured the jet-setting lives of many stars in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

A true devotee, Scott is staying in the esteemed Las Brisas hotel—the scene of many famous photographs by Aarons.
