We’re coming into the new season with a lot to say. The Agency Times Spring Edition covers property branding, global events, an exciting new chapter for The Agency Art House, and the design and lifestyle trends defining this cultural moment. Here’s a snapshot of what’s within.

What does it take to brand a legend? In Built Different, Branded Better, The Agency’s Creative Director Shane Gazzo and a few dynamic designers take you inside the process behind some of the most talked-about property brands in recent memory — including the Stahl House and the David Lynch Compound. From their first instinct to the finished brand, we get the inside track on the design decisions that gave each property an unmistakable identity.

Next, flip to Add to Calendar (Thank Us Later) — which is exactly what it sounds like. Our teams around the world have handpicked the season’s best events, from a romantic roses-and-books celebration in Barcelona to boisterous big-game fishing on the Gulf Coast. So wherever you are in the world, we’ve found something worth leaving the house for.

We also celebrate The Agency Art House’s expansion into Mexico City. At the helm is Founder Arushi Kapoor, freshly named to Forbes‘ 30 Under 30 list, joined by gallerist Georgina Pounds as Art Advisor. “Latin America represents the future of global collecting, creativity, and cultural influence,” said Arushi. “And we are building a platform that is deeply local, globally connected, and designed for the next generation of collectors.”

In Design & Lifestyle Trends for Spring & Summer 2026, we capture the aesthetic mood of this moment — at once complex, fiercely individual, and a little rebellious. From the “Hollywood Cottage Aesthetic” to wellness spaces designed to soothe your nervous system, these trends go for depth, texture, and unapologetic comfort.
