Say hello to Gucci’s new Savoy luggage collection

As the deputy editor at Gourmet Traveller, Anna McCooe has the world’s best gig. She spends her days travelling to amazing places, eating great food, looking at beautiful things and then curating it all into influential and endlessly glossy magazines. With two decades under her belt in print media, she has toured celebrity homes for Marie Claire (and as the editor of Marie Claire Lifestyle), previewed five-star hotels for Australian Financial Review and reported on trends for Home Beautiful, Vogue Living and Inside Out. At Gourmet Traveller she investigates the fine line between a good hotel and a great one and debating the merits of hot restaurants. Seriously, she gets paid for this.

Jacqui’s creative career started in London, when she was employed by Pink Floyd. Here, she analysed the band’s collection of photographs and learned to appraise imagery from different angles. A critic’s eye was born. She is a multidisciplinary creative who has led award-winning art teams within the world of luxury lifestyle media. Her broad range of skills and contemporary design sensibility has seen her work commissioned by clients such as Sydney Opera House and the State Library of NSW. Jacqui has an unwavering passion for typography and admits to being a massive nerd when it comes to coffee. Her love of food and appreciation of a well-set table has led her to Gourmet Traveller where she can finally tackle life’s big questions, like ‘what colour goes with cheese?’
