"He likes the idea of a life that's full of energy and curiosity, and I think his photographs capture that." bottom right, from left: Kors, Aldridge, and Testino at the shoot in Antigua. Pack your bags—but not before a spritz of Wonderlust, the lat- est fragrance from Michael Kors, an eau de parfum for the internationally minded, made from a global bouquet of ingre- dients: fresh Italian bergamot, creamy almond milk, helio- trope, and sandalwood from Sri Lanka. Here the designer (and man of the world) extols travel and praises supermodel Lily Aldridge, the face of a scintillating new ad campaign. What is it about jet-setting that inspires you? Whether you're jumping on a plane or walking down a street you've never walked on before in your hometown, it's this sense of discovery that I think makes people feel energized and excited. What sets this fragrance apart from your others? I've never done anything with a gourmand touch. I don't like the idea of a fra- grance that smells edible, but then we smelled the final blend and I realized that the gourmand could be really refined when you took some- thing like almond milk, you mixed it with the bergamot, and then you have that pep- per in there. I said, "Eureka!" Why did you choose Lily Aldridge for this campaign? She's obviously very beauti- ful—but beauty's not enough. She's also up for anything, loves to travel, knows music, and is a great mom. I really love that she's got so many aspects to her personality! Macy's, 450 Washington St., 617-357-3000; macys.com .
