I tried a digital detox in Bhutan while maintaining my personal style, and not being connected to social media actually made my fashion journey much more meaningful.

The writer, who usually turns vacations into workations, has arrived at Pemako Punakha, a luxury retreat in Bhutan, in search of a true break. The drive from the airport to the retreat takes 2.5 hours and feels like a journey back to prehistoric times, with no network signal in sight. As they cross a suspension bridge over a river, they are reminded of a scene from Schitt’s Creek, and they nervous laugh it off. Leaving behind their work schedules and itineraries, they are finally embracing a real getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of fashion week.
