The CELINE Woman
Forget the ugly Christmas sweater. You’re showing up to the party in something so much better—a CELINE Triomphe pullover that can rival any tasteful holiday decor. This season, the iconic Triomphe emblem is more than ready to embrace the symbolism of renewal (and luxury). Pair a Triomphe sweater with tailored trousers and some mocha mousse sands, and you’ll look like you wandered out of 2024 and into 2025.
Accessorize with CELINE’s jewelry or their signature leather goods, and you’ll leave everyone wondering if they should toss their Secret Santa gifts and just go home. This isn’t just festive—it’s aspirational.
The Loewe Woman
For you, the holidays are about tapping into a magical sense of wonder—complete with whimsical ceramics and surreal dreamscapes. Loewe’s holiday collaboration with Kyoto-based ceramist Suna Fujita. With interiors and accessories incorporating graphics inspired by a world where dreams and artistry take place perfect for cozy evenings spent around a crackling fire, debating the merits of artisanal hot chocolate.
Their S/S25 pre-collection is sprinkles a bit of magic dust on your holiday wardrobe. With its vibrant textures and layered whimsy, you’ll be the life of the dinner table, effortlessly straddling the line between avant-garde and approachable. Top it off with a statement Loewe bag, and you’re basically the fairy godmother of holiday chic.
The Bottega Veneta Woman
The holidays can make even the most sophisticated of us a bit sentimental, and Bottega Veneta understands. One of Matthieu Blazy’s last collections for the house, a pre-S/S25 capsule collection inspired by the colorful universe of Richard Scarry is a mix of nostalgia, refinement, and a sense of childhood wonder. Striped editions of their Intrecciato Dust Bag feel as warm and familiar as a childhood storybook, while the apple-shaped belt buckles add an intriguing twist to any ensemble.
Whether you’re hosting a gingerbread house contest or attending a fancy soirée, Bottega Veneta ensures your look has just the right amount of whimsy to keep you from becoming that serious, stylish person at the party. After all, even the chicest among us deserve a little fun.
The Carolina Herrera Woman
With a social calendar brimming with soirées and dinners, your wardrobe demands both sophistication and ease—and Carolina Herrera delivers in spades. Think flattering silhouettes adorned with painterly prints, a delectable palette of pinks and browns, and dresses that make every occasion feel like a celebration. Add in their delicious red bags and accessories, and you’ve got investment pieces that keep on giving. Fun, feminine, and endlessly versatile, Carolina Herrera outfits are designed for the woman who brings personality and poise to every holiday event.
The Jimmy Choo Woman
Because no holiday look is complete without the right shoes, Jimmy Choo is here to sleigh. This season’s offerings are pure drama: tinsel-inspired fabrics, velvet in deep ruby red or classic black, and that signature crystal detailing that turns your feet into miniature disco balls. Whether it’s a pavé-crystal heel or a knotted bow adorned with droplets, these shoes demand attention—and a good dance floor. As the carols play and the champagne flows, your Jimmy Choos will do all the talking. No small talk necessary when your footwear is the gift.
This holiday season, embody your favorite fashion house and let it guide your style. Classic and elegant, artsy and eclectic, or playful and nostalgic; there’s no better time to wear your aesthetic. Why just dress for the holidays when you can live them?
