ÆSTHETIC NOMADS
A Chronicle of Beauty Unveiled - Stories of Global Living
LIMITED EDITION: 1/150 to 150/150
IMAGE & DESIGN: Reinhilde Gielen & WORDS: Hans Pauwels











Our careers in fashion and business permitted us to travel the world. There were years when we spent 200 days abroad, often staying in different cities every night. We were wanderers who got glimpses of cities through the windows of taxis and hotel rooms. There was always more to uncover. There was never enough time.
Now, we leave our home to live and work abroad for months at a time. We have become nomads in pursuit of beauty. This book, with more than 1100 photos and 46 short-form texts, is an intimate chronicle of our journeys to 95 one-of-a-kind places around the world, from megacities like Tokyo, or New York, to a fisherman's village in Kenya, or a remote farmhouse hidden in the hills of Sicily. We lived in unique houses in each of these places. We took the time to discover, to photograph, and to write. This is our true story of the beauty, happiness, and timelessness that we experienced everywhere.
