Verve unravels the travel secrets of the fashion set, dipping into their cherished wish lists, memorable experiences and must-have accessories

Always in her bag Kiehl’s lip balm, Hermès Jardin perfume, M.A.C lipstick, ripped jeans with a white tank top — her “go-to outfit at all times”, and a riveting read, her current travel buddy being William Dalrymple’s White Mughals.

On her wish list A selfie stick, binoculars, and a new pair of sunglasses —“because every trip must be seen through new lenses.”

Next stamp on her passport Mexico or Eastern Europe. “It’s going to be my honeymoon, so it’s got to be spectacular!”

A memorable travel experience “I loved going to Gulmarg for a skiing holiday. I was taken aback by the beauty of Kashmir. I learnt how to ski which made it even more special.”

She can’t get enough of “Paris, a city close to my heart. It’s romantic, and has a beautiful blend of history, architecture and modern city culture.”
