Holiday Darlings

Holiday Darlings

'Tis the season for sequins, velvet, and satin galore! We are decking our wardrobes with silky silhouettes, romantic details, and disco-ball worthy looks that guarantee to get you on the best-dressed list. To get in the spirit of the season, we chatted with our favorites on what makes for the perfect party-approved outfit.

Jonathan Simkhai

  • Founded in 2010 and winner of the 2015 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, Jonathan Simkhai surprised the industry with a reimagined take on women’s ready-to-wear. Think off-the-shoulder suiting and tailored wrap dresses in luxury fabrics.
  • What's on your holiday agenda?
    Cooking and baking. Having dinner parties and cooking for the people I love.
  • Her holiday party must-have:
    The Simkhai woman tends to create some buzz when walking into a room. She’s probably looking for something sequined, like the jersey jumpsuit.
  • Your personal go-to holiday look:
    I usually go for a fun pair of silk pants and a Banner Day T-Shirt.

Alexis

  • Mother-daughter power duo Ana and Alexis Barbara came together in 2008 to form Alexis — a womenswear line inspired by a deep love of vintage pieces. Effortless, chic, and oh-so-romantic, these designs are the kiss to your wardrobe’s mistletoe.
  • What's on your holiday agenda?
    Holiday shopping around Bal Harbor, decorating the tree with my girls, and hosting our annual Office Fête.
  • Her holiday party must-have:
    A statement dress paired with unconventional accessories. A “less is more” meets “holiday extravaganza” look.
  • Your personal go-to holiday look:
    The Jovanna Gown and Leticia Dress are two of my personal favorites. Pair it with heels, bold earrings, and a beautiful evening clutch.
