Despite the sweltering heat, summer is New Orleans is a lovely time when the pace slows down and we find more moments for long dinners with friends, gallery and museum hopping and other activities we’ve been meaning to experience. In this combined June/July issue, we’re celebrating artists, events, places and ideas making this season one to enjoy.
Our cover highlights one of the city’s signature summer traditions, Fidelity White Linen Night. Every August, the Arts District comes alive with art lovers, local creatives, and plenty of crisp white linen, reminding us why this event remains such a favorite year after year. Be sure to check out our “Gallery Insider” feature as well, where we share the upcoming exhibits and shows that deserve a spot on your calendar.
We’re also taking a closer look at skincare and wellness with a thoughtful feature by Molly Kimball, including conversations with local experts Dr. Mary Lupo and Dr. Deirdre Hooper. Their insights offer smart, practical advice for caring for your skin.
This issue also includes an important feature on estate planning. While it may not always be an easy topic to think about, having a plan in place is one of the most meaningful ways to protect your family and the legacy you’ve worked hard to build.
Our style guru Amy Gabriel shares delightful inspiration for effortless al fresco entertaining and highlights the season’s must-have summer fashion finds, while other regular columns, Around Town, the Arts Calendar and our Parties section keep you connected to the social events and cultural happenings shaping the months ahead.
We hope this issue inspires you to get out, explore the city, and enjoy every bit of the season ahead.
