Frame x Ritz Paris: Gift Guide

| Design & Culture by Ed

Frame, the Los Angeles-based fashion house, has released the third drop of its collaboration with the Ritz Paris Hotel, and it couldn’t be chicer. And right on festive time! Erik Torstensson, co-founder of Frame, has previously worked the Ritz logo into baseball caps, sweatshirts and sneakers. Now, for the third iteration, the collection has moved into ready-to-wear, with bombers, blazers and wide-leg pants. The hotelier’s well-known crest can also be seen on cashmere cardigans and sweaters, pajama sets, swim and other items. 

“Everybody comes to the Ritz“… here are my favorite pieces from the capsule which you can shop now before the Christmas holidays begin!

Guest In Residence Gift Guide

| Design & Culture by Ed

“The genesis of Guest In Residence is to honor past heirlooms and give life to new ones spanning generations,” says model and founder Gigi Hadid. Inspired by her parents’ hand-me-downs that brought her comfort while on the road, each piece is made from sumptuous cashmere and designed to be cherished. Here are couple of my favorite pieces by the brand that might come handy this festive season – both as gifts that will keep on giving and as outfit-wise evening-savers!

The Scent of Loewe

| Design & Culture by Ed

Remember that SNL skit about candle-gifting? Well. Candles are candles. But Loewe candles are another level. I had the beetroot one and I must admit it was the best candle I ever used. It’s really a gift that keeps on giving – it not only smells great, but looks chic. The Loewe Home Scents range includes delicately scented candles inspired by floral fragrances and fresh foliage poured into colorful terracotta earthenware pots, nostalgic scented sticks and deliciously fresh room sprays that are perfect for spritzing onto bed linens. Explore my favorites here just in time for the festive season!

Layer Up! Festive Marc Jacobs Selection

| Design & Culture by Ed

Back in June, Marc Jacobs delivered one of the most knock-out fashion collections of 2022. Now, it’s finally available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman, just in time for the festive season. The marvelous collection had it all: supersizing jeans skirts, or treating denim to surface treatments that made the all-American classic look more like French couture. Adding so much stuffing to ribbed knit sweaters they could double as pillows. Toying with Gilded Age bustles – evoking them by wrapping jackets around the waist. And cutting ball gowns of exuberant volume in unexpected, even strange fabrics. Here’s the festive-ready selection of my favourite items coming from this icon-status collection!
