AN OFFERING TO THE SUN GODS

ith its dazzling white sand, glassy, turquoise waters, and verdant forest set along an ancient, craggy coastline, the paradisiacal Caribbean island of Antigua is straight out of a storybook. Teeming with colourful wildlife and imbued with that special sense of ease unique to sun-drenched coastal regions, it comes as no surprise that countless members of the jet set have sojourned or resided here over the years, from Princess Diana and Jackie Kennedy to Timothy Dalton, Giorgio visited earlier this year to shoot two menswear features and were bowled over by the island’s flora and fauna. But beneath the obvious beauty is also a warmth in the island’s greeting. We were heartily welcomed wherever we pointed our cameras by locals as engaging and accommodating as we’ve ever met.
