Every time I walk into the office, I pass by Sir Christopher Wren\u2019s baroque cathedral, and every time I catch my breath. Apparently there exists a condition, objectophilia, where people become uncommonly attached to or emotional about a building, and certainly, over the years I\u2019ve come to think of St Paul\u2019s as a friend.I am not religious, though Lord knows I\u2019m open to a spiritual awakening; a belief in the hereafter would certainly make it easier to process the news right now. But even a\u00a0filthy heathen such as I can be quite transported by the extraordinary calm one finds in holy realms. This year I have visited some truly gorgeous churches: St Stephen\u2019s Cathedral, the Roman Catholic church in Vienna, with its epic frescoes and gothic spires; the exquisitely simple Tre Chiese, a three-church complex in the province of Bolzano, whose earliest church, Santa Geltrude, was first documented in the 13th\u00a0century; and the San Francisco de As\u00eds Catholic Mission Church in Taos, New Mexico, the adobe-walled house of worship that has captivated artists, saints and\u00a0sinners since 1816. For this issue we asked our tastemakers and contributors which sacred buildings have most\u00a0inspired them. The list is multi-denominational, spectacular and unexpected: small pockets of wonder found all around the world.\u00a0Those seeking enlightenment via more secular routes may be taken by Victoria Woodcock\u2019s piece about the new\u00a0enchanted mood in art. These figurative pieces have a mythic, folkloric and fairytale spirit, surreal in their storytelling and rich in allegory. Many remind me of The Water-babies, the children\u2019s novel by Charles Kingsley, while others are more manga in style. Mostly, they\u00a0are desperately pretty, awakening a childlike fascination with all things fantastical.\u00a0Over the years I\u2019ve come to think of St Paul\u2019s as a friend Who will be visiting the cinema to see Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet do his impression of Bob Dylan? Early word about A Complete Unknown is buzzing and I for one am always keen to see anything starring Elle\u00a0Fanning. Super-fans might like to\u00a0consult our style guide \u2013 Aylin Bayhan has found 18 pieces to help you channel the singer\u2019s \u201960s cool. Sorry, we\u00a0can\u2019t provide the vocals. Those pipes\u00a0just ain\u2019t for sale.We\u2019ve also been to Bhutan with photographer Angelo Pennetta, who provides an evocative travelogue; and to Koko, in Camden, with Benjamin Canares and Felix Cooper, to create a stunning portfolio to satisfy all your party needs. And I\u2019m taking notes on how to make the perfect Irish coffee (it needs ice-cold cream, apparently), dreaming of bespoke duvets\u00a0and planning a visit to Tokyo \u2013 in particular its new landmark Muji store. I don\u2019t believe in many things, but I believe in Muji: Christmas just isn\u2019t Christmas without a stocking full of Gel Ink pens.\u00a0@jellison22<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
