Name: Zoë Wendel
Occupation: Senior accessories designer at Opening Ceremony
Travel destination: Jamaica
Carry-on necessities: OC Dart Sunglasses and Fujifilm Instax 210 Camera
Reading materials: The Essays of Truman Capote
Most over-played tracks on your iPhone this trip: "Dance Pon The Corner" by Sister Nancy
Favorite outfit to travel in: Opening Ceremony Theroux Two-Layer Dress with my vintage denim jacket and vans and adidas Originals x OC woven leather baseball cap
Highlight of your trip: Swimming before breakfast EVERY DAY! Best way to start your day—jump in the ocean at 7 AM!
Souvenirs you brought back: Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans, towel (as seen in photo), and the best new music in the dance hall scene. You can buy mixtapes for around $2 on the streets—picked up some Demarco, Tommy Lee, Gage, Spice, Kalado, Alkaline, Tiana, Kranium, the infamous Vybz Kartel and more.
