Christmas Luxury Gifts

See all the Christmas luxury gifts »

Holiday shopping for the men and women in your life that have exquisite tastes can be a tricky task. But by taking hints from the Fall 2012 runways, shopping for Christmas luxury gifts can be managed a lot easier. We’ve compiled a list of luxury gift ideas just in time for the holiday season to be upon us.

Geometric prints were one of the biggest trends that came down runways for Fall 2012, so impress a lucky lady in your life by honing your Prada knowledge by choosing a luxury gift that is reminiscent of the brand’s fall collection. Or how about looking to the East for Asian-inspired prints in a shoe from Aldo or beauty travel case from Salvatore Ferragamo—both of which wouldn’t look out of place on the Proenza Schouler Fall 2012 runway.

Christmas luxury gifts can come in all shapes and sizes, but it all depends on the giftee’s personal style and tastes. That being said, a fan of Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2012 collection may not appreciate a D.L. & Co. skull candle; so choose your luxury gifts based on his or her sartorial favorites.

The influence of fashion on the gifts featured in our Christmas luxury gift guide will ease you into checking off the stylish family and friends in your life when doing your shopping this holiday season.

These are the style MVPs of fall 2012 worth investing in and will help you score major style points all season long.

Culture Shock: Photographer Chen Man’s boundary-pushing imagery make their way into a M.A.C collaboration

“Those girls started riots, because Chinese people thought they were ugly,” says Phillip Ing, vice-president of global retail and special events for M.A.C. He’s describing the public’s reaction to a series of images by Beijing-based photographer Chen Man, published in 2003 on the covers of Vision, an avant-garde Chinese fashion and art magazine. OK, so they weren’t actual riots, but there was plenty of hate mail; resistance is a common repercussion when one is blazing a beauty trail in a conservative country. Her images were arresting and fantastical, and they instantly garnered attention, as did the artist herself. At the time, she was only 23 and still in school, but she represented the next generation, who no longer felt constrained by many of the limitations their nation imposed.

They said/We said: Over 1,000 swarm Dolce & Gabbana’s Hong Kong store in protest

It may have looked like Wal-Mart on Black Friday, but over a thousand people outside of a Hong Kong Dolce & Gabbana store yesterday were there to protest rather than to shop. The angry mob took to the brand’s Tsim Sha Tsui location—they were demanding an apology for the ban on taking pictures of the storefront display.

The brand prompted the ban of photo ops outside the store after a distinguished shopper and apparent government official complained about shutters going off outside the store, for fear of appearing in the shots after being scrutinized for owning a luxury watch.

The plot thickened, though, with the rumoured comment made by a security guard at the Tsim Sha Tsui location, that only mainland Chinese tourists were allowed to take photos outside the store, adding fuel to ongoing racial clashes between Hong Kong natives and the mainland Chinese.

In a statement released earlier today, the brand said: “It is regrettable that Dolce & Gabbana has been brought into this matter, but we wish to underline that our company has not taken part in any action aiming at offending the Hong Kong public.”
