Kym Canter may insist on keeping her beloved stuffed animal by her side at all times—from the airport to the hotel and beyond—but don't be fooled: she's no newcomer to travel. Kym is a fashion industry veteran and expert on the intersection of "wheres and wares" who takes regular jaunts around the world in search of inspiration and the latest and greatest global garments.
