Guest In Residence Gift Guide

November 28, 2023 | 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!

Layer Up! Festive Marc Jacobs Selection

December 6, 2022December 6, 2022 | 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!

The Sack Shoulder Bag

Oversized Knit Crewneck Sweater
