We’re now less than two weeks away from Christmas morning! While you eagerly tick off the days on your advent calendar and plan your festive escape, why not give yourself a visual treat to fully embrace the holiday cheer? We’ll help you get started.
Whether you’re looking to curate the perfect presents for loved ones or just want to treat yourself to something special, luxury brands have unveiled exciting collections for the holiday season. Here’s a curated selection of this year’s most exquisite offerings from Diptyque, FENDI, Rabanne, Diesel, Gucci, Balenciaga, and Celine.
Diptyque
This holiday season, Diptyque brings a whimsical touch to luxury fragrance with a collaboration with guest artist Lucy Sparrow. The Anglo-French fragrance Maison’s festive collection is defined by felt – a material and motif that embellishes its three new special-edition candles: Sapin (Pine Tree), Étoile (Star), and Friandise (Sweet Treat). Each candle, adorned with gold-embellished letters and Diptyque’s iconic label reimagined in felt, captures the essence of holiday cheer. As you savour mince pies or sip hot chocolate by the fireplace on Christmas evening, Diptyque’s new scented candles promise to add that extra touch of festive warmth to your celebrations.
FENDI
FENDI’s holiday offering is a love letter to winter resort fashion. Perfect for snowy escapes, the Skiwear 2024 collection combines the practicality of high-performance winter gear with the luxury Maison’s refined glamour. Sleek gloves, chic boots, and cosy beanies that blend style with functionality define the collection. Complemented by the Maison’s Winter Holiday Collection, featuring nifty bags and accessories, FENDI’s latest is all about practical festive fashion.
Rabanne
For a Rabanne Christmas, accessories take centre stage. The brand’s Christmas 2024 collection dazzles with metallic elegance, offering a selection of bags, jewellery, and belts of blinding extravagance. Highlights include the shimmering silver tote bag, as well as the chainmail earrings available in both gold and silver, which complement the crowning jewel – a striking silver chainmail necklace. These standout pieces are perfect for adding a touch of glitzy glamour to your holiday soirées.
Diesel
Under the direction of creative director Glenn Martens, Diesel keeps redefining festive fashion, this time with its eccentric Holiday 2024 campaign. The collection is a riot of colour, juxtaposing the distressed washes, vibrant knitwear, and tie-dye prints that defined Diesel’s FW24 runway and SS25 pre-collections. This Christmas, Diesel continues to build on the quintessentially rebellious spirit that has always been at the core of the brand’s advertising campaigns.
Gucci
Festive joy is all about the presents you find scattered around your Christmas tree as you wake up early on the morning of the 25th – at least if Gucci’s holiday campaign is anything to go by. The Italian luxury brand’s campaign revolves around gifting. From timeless accessories perfect for winter getaways to emblematic pieces perfect for year-end soirées, Gucci’s campaign is all about accessories that make you stop and take notice – pieces you probably can’t help but pick up for yourself, if not someone else.
Balenciaga
As far as the premier Spanish luxury fashion house is concerned, Christmas fashion is about timelessness. Balenciaga’s Gift campaign, unveiled last month, draws inspiration from vintage magazine adverts to offer a series of bags, accessories and objects curated for their suitability as holiday presents. Highlights from the collection include the emblematic Rodeo Bag and the Maison’s signature Hourglass bag, both of which can be personalised with the brand’s maximalist Paloma Keyring. Balenciaga’s Gift campaign is extravagant, and the items it features chosen specifically for gifting.
Celine
Speaking of gifting, we couldn’t leave Celine’s End of Year 2024 and Winter 2024 Accessories campaigns out of this list. Featuring a variety of chic bags, snug shoes and many other enticing accessories, the French luxury brand’s latest has plenty to pick and choose from to gift your loved ones and make their Christmas extra special.
