We asked our friends, neighbors, store associates and frequent collaborators to share their tips for giving great gifts and getting in the holiday mood.
What's your Holiday Tradition?
"I’m Haitian-American, raised in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. So I’m either in Haiti or with my family out on Long Island, eating and hanging out."
What Puts You in a Holiday Mood?
"There’s something about the holidays that makes me crave old places on the Upper East Side. Going to the Met Museum and then walking over to Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle for a drink."
If your style was a holiday song it would be...
"All of this is on vinyl, so Sixties-Seventies jazz charts in the morning. And at nighttime, more of a George Benson, disco vibe."
What puts you in a Holiday Mood?
Walking in Madison Square Park. It is one the smallest parks in the city, but it’s also one of the prettiest.
If your style was a holiday song, it would be...
The Temptations’ Christmas Card album or anything by Donny Hathaway.
If your style was a holiday song, it would be...
Silent Night. I don’t dress real flashy. I really like clothes that are subtle, well-made with a classic appeal like this camel topcoat.
What clothing puts you in a holiday mood?
"Velour and cashmere have this cozy glamour that really channels the holidays for me. I always love a subtle, luxe moment."
If your style was a holiday song, it would be...
"The Best is Yet To Come by Frank Sinatra"
What's one of your favorite holiday traditions?
"My wife and our boys and I wake up at our house in Bay Ridge on Christmas morning and drive over to my folks in Midwood to open presents. Then we get in the car and drive to my in-laws in New Jersey."
