Bad Bunny blasted out of Puerto Rico to lead a global Latin music revolution and the rapper and singer is bringing his legions of devoted fans along for the ride

Bad Bunny – Rapper and Singer, 28

When Bad Bunny was growing up in Almirante Sur, a rural area in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, he would often go clothes shopping with his mother. "I always remember seeing the pieces in women's clothing, and they would always fit me so much better, and they had so much different variety," recalls the rapper and singer, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. Seated in his office in San Juan, Bad Bunny takes a moment to reflect. "Obviously, as you get older, you start seeing what the world shows you," he says, "and if I lived life that way, then I wouldn't be able to dress in the way that I really want to." He's wearing a Marni logo tee, a mini knit beanie, and flashy Balenciaga sunglasses; the mirrored "BB" logo at the temples isn't custom made, but it might as well be. "To a point, the fame and where I am gives me the confidence to do all of these things."

That fame Bad Bunny mentions-it's on another level. This year, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, BTS, and Beyoncé have all released new music. But Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti, which dropped in May, has topped them all, with a record 183 million streams on Spotify on the day it was released. In fact, in 2020 and 2021, he was the most-streamed artist on the platform worldwide.

When in Rome- Rediscover the eternal city through a slew of new properties that ooze sprezzatura

Italy's capital is a dramatic mash-up of ancient and modern, flawed and reinvented, chaos and control. Winding through the streets, visitors can have the heady experience of turning a corner and feeling like they traveled back in time. It's a city with so many historical layers and styles, says Daria Reina, who, along with her husband, Andrea Ferolla, founded the cult boutique Chez Dede. You can feel the spirits of the people who came before and left behind their soul. The couple just opened Superattico Monserrato, a 1,400-square-foot penthouse apartment in the same building as the store. Eclectically appointed with contemporary art, bed linens designed by Reina and Ferolla, vintage Marcel Breuer chairs, and Venini chandeliers, it's like living in a Chez Dede world.
