What makes a shopping day truly unforgettable? To answer this question, we accompanied Karla Martínez de Salas, Head of Editorial Content of Vogue Mexico & Latin America, on a unique experience at The Bicester Collection. This isn’t just a simple shopping trip; it’s an immersion in luxury, style, and the pleasure of discovering exclusive pieces.
Our adventure begins at the iconic La Vallée Village, one of The Bicester Collection’s most sought-after destinations, which has earned a place in the hearts of fashionistas worldwide. Karla, always on the lookout for the latest trends, prepares for a sophisticated and elegant autumn, and what better place to start than at Isabel Marant. Here, amidst high-quality fabrics and avant-garde designs, Karla shares that The Bicester Collection is a paradise for fashion lovers, where a curated selection of international luxury brands (fashion and lifestyle) can be found.
After exploring a series of fascinating pieces, it’s time for a well-deserved break. We head to one of the Village’s cozy gastronomic spaces, where the relaxed atmosphere invites us to pause and savor local delicacies. Karla uses this moment to reflect on how The Bicester Collection is not just a shopping site but a cultural experience that connects fashion, art, and gastronomy in a comfortable and stimulating environment.
With renewed energy, our next stop is at Yves Salomon, where the exquisite furs and artisanal design elevate any autumn wardrobe. Karla, with her expert eye, selects garments and accessories that promise to be essential for the season, highlighting the versatility and elegance that characterize the designer’s collections. We continue the journey to ba&sh, where modern femininity meets comfort, a perfect combination for the Vogue woman seeking functionality without sacrificing style.
