Konfekt - Autumn 2026

Konfekt’s autumn issue pursues both health and happiness, as the breeze gets cooler and thoughts refocus – starting from the tips from our cover star, Japanese actress Asami Mizukawa. Besides our annual round-up of the world’s most refreshing spas – dropping in to pools, saunas and tennis courts from South Tyrol to the Cyclades, via Kenya and Bavaria – in these pages you will find Konfekt’s first Japan special. We venture to Tokyo to unearth its most compelling fashion brands, spots for a cocktail and retail addresses. Also: Eight creatives present their automotive gems and show us around the city on four wheels; and we delve into the joys of looking at Japan through an autumnal cinematic lens. Plus: We follow a parade of Austrian cows down from pasture to celebrate harvest season, serve lunch in rural Ireland and join a Viennese tea party with cake artist Sophia Stolz. Our fashion section visits Uruguay to track down the pampas’s finest knits, alongside our pick of sharp blazers and fine watches for a sense of renewed dedication and purpose.
