“For the holidays, I will be surrounded by my friends and family upstate. I'm very excited my mother is coming and I hope we have enough snow to ski this year! I'm always hopeful for diamonds from Santa too, but not sure as I may be on the naughty list this year!”

Monique Lhuillier (Fashion Designer)

"I love to travel and I’ve been wanting to go to the Amangiri Resort in Utah. The very unique resort nestled in Utah’s beautiful desert would be perfect for a relaxing getaway before the start of the new year. This would be nature heaven for me!"

Georgina Chapman (Co-founder of Marchesa)

“What I would really love for Christmas is two free weeks (at least!) to go on a cultural and trekking holiday in Bhutan and Tibet. I last trekked in Nepal almost 20 years ago, it was possibly the most inspirational trip I have taken both spiritually and artistically. I have since yearned to visit Bhutan and Tibet. Harvey… hint, hint!!!”

“I am always traveling but to a specific destination for work. A secret flight ticket where I don’t know the destination with the one I love would be the perfect surprise.”

"A large Hermès scarf. Scarves are the perfect way for a man to add a bit of gusto to the often muted colorways of everyday suiting. You cannot beat the quality of Hermès cashmere and silk blends. They are actually collectible, with care they have an endless life span."

“I would love a real fur throw for my Sag Harbor home, the perfect accessory for a winter night with the fire on…. Preferably in those amazing Fendi colors.”
