If you see a beautiful girl in a body-con, surf-inspired swimsuit, it is likely that she’s wearing a piece by designer Lisa Marie Fernandez. Eugenie Niarchos, Bianca Brandolini, Constance Jablonski, Elsa Hosk are just a few of the It girls who rely on the designer for their seaside getaway looks. Although her label is based in New York, Fernandez is frequently jetting off to some of the world’s most exotic locales, from Capri to Ubud, in search of inspiration for her namesake line. Here, the reigning queen of the jet set, talks about the best off-season destinations, the most luxurious hotel bathrooms on the planet, and private jets.
