“Strength and delicacy aren’t opposites. The bonsai is a small reminder of that.”
The AIR SUPPLY Experts’ Guide to the Holidays
Around the World with Marcos Fecchino
The Buenos Aires-born creative director travels the world year-round producing photo shoots, campaigns, and zines for clients including Loewe, Range Rover, and Interview magazine. When he’s not globetrotting, Fecchino splits his time between New York City and the Connecticut countryside. For him, nothing says the holidays like the smell of barbecue, firewood, and a Speedo.

Hitting the Holiday Road
Sleigh Bells, Smoke Pits, and Speedos
I’ll Be Home for Christmas
Jolly Without the Holly
“I grew up on barbecue smoke, cousins, and the sound of cicadas. December means summertime in Argentina. Heat, not holly. Family, horses, and a pool in the Argentine countryside.”
All I Want
Reality Check Out
“My holiday tradition is a full reset. I treat it like a layover from reality. No baggage allowed. Uniform: a Nike speedo and an oversized white linen shirt, and Birkenstocks.”
The Sun is Always Shining Somewhere
Don’t Leave Home Without It
“Sunscreen belongs in every season. Optimism in a bottle.”
Wherever You Go…
There You Are
“The secret to making a rented flat or hotel room festive is—no scented candles, no fake pine. Just Papier d’Armenie.”
