10 THINGS CREATIVE DIRECTOR ABISOLA OMOLE NEVER TRAVELS WITHOUT

10 THINGS CREATIVE DIRECTOR ABISOLA OMOLE NEVER TRAVELS WITHOUT

bisola Omole’s multifaceted career in design spans founding online creative space The Apartment, lifestyle brand Arva, and Arva and Fole studios in London, culminating in The Apartment Global Group umbrella, of which she is CEO. A soft minimalism and a zest for travel and storytelling permeate her work across these spaces and various other projects and positions she has occupied, from her beauty editor role for digital storytelling platform Cubicle to her Bottega Veneta partnerships.  Omole’s knack for visual storytelling offers a window into the realities of a 20-something entrepreneur, but also aims to remould perceptions of, and inspire, plus-size women and women of colour in the fashion, lifestyle and business industries. Her curated East London workspace is well worth a browse, as is her Instagram account (an ode to Islington and a calming mood board of design inspiration), which was labelled by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a recent interview as her favourite new account to follow.  With an international career comes a refined packing prowess. Here are 10 things creative director and CEO Abisola Omole never travels without.   An instant facial AN INSTANT FACIAL Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator, £38, Goop ‘Like many people, travelling can dry out my skin and leave it looking quite dull. This Goop instant facial contains micro-exfoliating minerals that mimic professional facial treatments and glycolic acids to remove dead skin cells while smoothing out pores. It’s truly a magical product. My only advice is to use it a few times while you’re home so you can get used to its strength before taking it on the road with you – it’s filled with a lot of powerful ingredients.’  BUY NOW  Travel beauty set TRAVEL BEAUTY SET Discover de Mamiel kit, £115, de Mamiel ‘De Mamiel products are firm regulars in my beauty cabinet and I also find this discovery kit the perfect travel companion, with mini versions of some of my favourite products. It includes the Restorative Cleansing Balm, Dewy Facial Mist, Altitude Oil and Exhale Daily Hydrating Nectar SPF30. I’m yet to find a more perfect beauty kit to travel with.’  BUY NOW  Gold earrings GOLD EARRINGS Molten gold hoops, £69, Astrid and Miyu ‘When travelling, comfort is my main objective. You’ll never catch me in skinny jeans or heels – usually it’ll be a full cashmere look or a floaty dress. I find that wearing a pair of sophisticated earrings immediately elevates my look. So yes, I could literally be wearing pyjamas but earrings, like these molten gold hoops from Astrid and Miyu, always add a chic element to my overall look. Should I need to go straight from the plane to something work related, it somehow formalises an otherwise off-duty look. Call it the power of accessorising.’  BUY NOW    Travel wallet TRAVEL WALLET Panama Zip Currency Case, £235, Smythson ‘This was a gift from a good friend of mine around five years ago and I’ve been using it solidly since. The zip case has four compartments and its flat shape makes it easy to take everywhere – invaluable at times like fashion month, when I need the convenience of having pounds, euros, dollars and krone all in one place.’  BUY NOW  Personal scent PERSONAL SCENT L’eau d’Hiver eau de toilette by Jean-Claude Ellena, £110 for 50ml, Frederic Malle ‘I discovered this fragrance during my first trip to Paris for fashion week, around eight years ago. It’s fresh yet has so much depth. I associate it with not being home (having discovered it while travelling) but it also brings an air of familiarity to my trips no matter where I go – and of course it feels that much more magical when I’m wearing it in Paris.’  BUY NOW  A bag in a bag A BAG IN A BAG Mini Bonnie, £165, Gu_de ‘I usually carry a bag that’s filled with snacks, my technology and other important items but this means it ends up being quite bulky and hard to access during the flight. I’ve learnt to keep a small bag within my main bag that holds the items I need easy access to while airborne, but that also has handles that can be tied to a chair or is at least small and flexible enough to slot behind it, should space become an issue. The Bonnie bag by Gu_de ticks all these boxes and is, aesthetically, very very cool.’  BUY NOW  Portable speaker PORTABLE SPEAKER Beosound waterproof bluetooth speaker, £200, Bang and Olufsen ‘Music is one of the best ways to create or set a mood. Whether I’m working, sleeping or just hanging out, I love to have something playing in the background. My bluetooth Beosound speaker is light with great battery life and the sound quality is truly amazing. It’s accompanied me on dozens of trips.’  BUY NOW  Carry-on with built-in charger CARRY-ON WITH BUILT-IN CHARGER The Carry-On, £215, Away ‘Besides being a reliable and chic travel companion, the Away carry-on has a built-in portable charger, which has saved me on a number of occasions. It’s the perfect feature when you’re on the go, and the battery lasts so long, I can charge my iPhone at least twice before having to recharge the unit.’  BUY NOW  Audiobooks AUDIOBOOKS Audiobook subscription, £7.99 per month, Audible ‘Travelling can be long – the drawn-out car, train or plane journeys, the delays and long walks to find the nearest shop – so I always ensure my Audible library is ready to go with at least three books that I can listen to during these times. A current favourite is Mythos, a book that retells a number of Ancient Greek myths; it’s written and read by Stephen Fry.’  BUY NOW    Refreshing spa wipes REFRESHING SPA WIPES Spa Cleansing Water Cloth, set of five packs of 10, £69, Koh Gen Do ‘I came across the original Koh Gen Do Spa Water Cloths in my favourite LA beauty store, Violet Grey. They’re strong, soaked in a blend of mineral water and conditioning botanical extracts, and perfect for removing make-up or if you need an instant refresh (when you maybe don’t have access to running water).’  BUY NOW  Like this?
