The trendsetter and packing expert shows us the essentials she brings on a vacation to Japan
Packing for a trip is an undesirable chore — whether you’re the type to get organised with check lists or shove everything in your suitcase at the last possible moment. Seeing how others hack it can inspire you to approach the deed with efficiency, which is why we’ve created a packing video series with some of our favourite jetsetters to show you exactly how it’s done.
When it comes to sorting out all the essentials for a trip, there’s no one more seasoned than stylist and fashion consultant Grace Lam. The respected former senior fashion editor of Vogue China cut her teeth at London’s i-D magazine, working under styling extraordinaire Edward Enninful. With more than two decades of experience loading up trunks and editing down the right looks for photo shoots, she knows exactly what to bring — and what to leave behind — on every type of vacation imaginable.
Watch the video above to see all the fashion essentials, beauty tools and tech gadgets she’s taking with her on an all girls’ vacation to the Kansai region of Japan.
