From New York to São Paulo, six designers dish on where they’re taking off to (or where they’ll be sticking around) for the holidays. If this has you feeling restless, there’s still time to book that last-minute flight…
Rebecca Taylor
“We are going to Harry Potter World in Orlando. My children love the books so they are super excited to explore and too be honest so am I!”
Adam Selman, designer
“I’ll be in New York. I love the city on Christmas because it’s empty. This time of the year is low-key for me. I don’t give Christmas gifts. I give gifts throughout the year, so there’s no pressure. Getting a week off in fashion is the biggest gift ever.”
Francisco Costa, creative director, Calvin Klein Collection
“I’m going to Brazil for 10 days! For the first time I’m going to explore São Paulo.”
Jonathan Simkhai, designer
“I’m heading down to Art Basel in the beginning of December and look forward to enjoying the warm weather. For the holidays I’ll be spending time with friends and family and relaxing at my new apartment in the West Village.”
Christian Siriano, designer
“I feel like the holidays came up so quickly this year! Wasn’t it just Halloween? My plans will consist of throwing my annual holiday decorating party. I invite a mix of friends and co-workers to join in creating holiday ornaments, gingerbread houses, and home décor. It’s a fun night of cocktails and crafts. I’ll also get to spend my first Christmas with my new nephew and the rest of my family in Maryland. On the actual day, I’ll be by the fire with my partner, Brad, for our second Christmas at our new house in Connecticut. I can’t wait to decorate it for the holidays.”
