As a fashion influencer, I have been keeping my eyes on what brands are dropping for their festive offerings. Here is a list of recommendations for you to gift your loved ones:
Self-Portrait Residency by Christopher Kane
For me, this is the best of the best if you are looking for a party dress this festive season. Self-Portrait introduced a new designer residency concept, with its first drop featuring iconic British designer Christopher Kane. The results are spectacular party dresses that bring back memories of Kane’s signature crystal chainmail, soft lace ruffles, and bondage-inspired bodycon silhouettes. The products also come with accessible price points.
Balenciaga Crystal Snowboard
We all love how extra Balenciaga is. For the holiday season, the fashion house has created a snowboard made with carbon fiber and encrusted with 23,390 crystals. It’s a limited-edition piece with a retail price of €25,000. I believe this is more of a collectable item rather than something to actually use at Niseko or Courchevel.
Brunello Cucinelli Cashmere Throw
Quiet luxury is here to stay, and 2024 has proven this theory. There is nothing more chic and cosy than a cashmere throw. For those who love a neutral colour palette, the cashmere throws from Brunello Cucinelli are what dreams are made of.
Prada Tricks
The biggest accessories trend of 2024 has got to be bag charms. Prada has brought back their nostalgic robot keychains, with the addition of some cute teddy bears dressed in Prada outfits. Let’s get them and place them next to your Labubu collection.
Bottega Veneta Flos Gino Sarfatti’s Model 600 Lamp
Bottega Veneta has been leading the luxury market with innovation not just in fashion, but in design as well. Bottega Veneta has partnered with Italian lighting design brand Flos to create a special edition of Gino Sarfatti’s iconic Model 600 table lamp. I am currently in Milan for a trip and just saw the product in real life. It’s highly desirable and definitely deserves a spot on your Christmas gift list for the home decor lovers in your life.
Valentino Garavani 9to5 Shoulder Bag In Voyage Imaginaire Jacquard
Alessandro Michele has brought back a sense of future nostalgia to Valentino. I particularly like this new bag called the 9to5. With its festive jacquards, it feels perfect for the holiday season.
Tod’s Soft Shearling Gommino
I am a firm believer in comfortable dressing. Usually, in winter, you’ll find me living in my UGG boots. To dress comfortably in a more elevated way, I highly recommend Tod’s Gommino loafers with luxurious shearling lining. It will feel like walking on clouds. Treat yourself better this holiday season.
Ferragamo Disco Hug Bag
The Ferragamo Hug Bag has built a cult following over the past two years. This holiday season, they’ve created a Hug Bag clutch with a gold mirror leather finish that resembles a disco ball. It’s the ultimate festive accessory. Let’s get the party started!
Miu Miu Ivy Bag
If you’ve watched the Sabrina Carpenter Christmas special on Netflix, you’ll know that pin-up girl style is trending. To live that fantasy, the Miu Miu Ivy bag is the perfect accessory to create that vibe.
