It is a cosmopolitan city where the Old World meets the New; a vibrant hub of culture and history. For its fi rst Travel Issue, Philippine Tatler presents a visual journey of the beautiful Catalan capital and explores its scenic ins and outs with model and muse Jessica Wilson
JESSICA WILSON—or Jess, as she prefers to be called—is a stunning, confident beauty with an indomitable spirit and a quiet yet palpable passion for life. Born in England and raised in the Philippines, this “It Girl” is the daughter of Robert and Aurora Wilson (née Diaz), and the sister of Samuel and Georgina. She moved to Australia, where she studied history and economics at the University of Sydney, and later, to Holland for her master’s degree. In 2012, she spent some time in London to intern for Temperley and Harvey Nichols. Home for now is Manila, where she divides her time between work (she fronts campaigns for fashion label UNAROSA and eyewear brand Sunnies Studios) and relaxing days off with family, friends, and investment banker boyfriend Moritz Gastl. At a young age, she has seen and experienced much, making her a true citizen of the world.
“I see travel as the best form of release from my hectic schedule,” shares Jess. “It’s a great respite from routine, and I am at my happiest when I’m seeing something new. And because I’m stepping out to relax and decompress, I don’t set a schedule.” Her beau does most of the pre-travel research and planning—that may or may not be adhered to, she adds.
