TRAVEL

Destination: Amsterdam

by Katherine Cusumano

Amsterdam

Pharrell Williams is only the most recent tastemaker to lay tracks in Amsterdam. As G-Star Raw’s newest co-owner and “Head of Imagination,” the musician just celebrated the brand’s Amsterdam headquarters opening last weekend. But he’s barely scratched the surface of what the cadre of lifestyle bloggers, photographers, and Dutch models (like rising stars Yasmin Wijnaldrum and Nirvana Naves) have long known and documented on Instagram. A city replete with stunning, photogenic sights—from the canals to the city’s famed flower market—and a burgeoning gallery scene, as well as festivals like the Amsterdam food festival that just wrapped up last week, makes for great travel ‘grams—and an ideal spring destination.
