Alexander Fury, Fashion Features Director: Subscription from FLOWERBX
“Unlike Madonna I do not simply loathe hydrangeas, but I do hate mixed flowers or any kind of green shit in a bunch. So too, apparently, does Tom, Ford – although he’d probably use less coarse verbiage. Which was one of the motivations for Whitney Bromberg-Hawkins – formerly one of Ford’s right-hand women – to found her company Flowerbx. It has an incredibly straightforward idea: delivering generous bunches of single-shades of a single flower, no muss no fuss. My ideal floristry scenario.”

Katie Shillingford, Fashion Director (Women’s): Beetroot wax candleholder by LOEWE
“I would love one of the Loewe wax candle sticks – well, I’d like one in every colour and scent actually! I just saw all the colours on display in the store and they look so beautiful together. I love that it’s a completely wax object, waste free and the scents are really lovely earthy things like tomato leaves, beetroot and pea.”

Ellie Grace Cumming, Fashion Director (Men’s): Pebble large marbled-resin vase by DINOSAUR DESIGNS
“As Yves Klein once said, ‘Blue has no dimensions, it is beyond dimensions.’”

Ted Stansfield, Deputy Editor, Digital Editor: Zigzag candlestick by JERMAINE GALLACHER

Helena Whalen, Photographic Editor: Geoffrey Bawa, The Complete Works
“A stack of books from my local bookshop, especially Geoffrey Bawa: The Complete Works and anything on Francesca Woodman or Claude Cahun.”

Beth Mingay, Photographic Producer: Poplin sleepwear by TEKLA FABRICS
“As I know full well I will be spending the day at home, I will be having a ‘self-care Christmas’ and I can’t think of much better than a super cosy set to relax in. Not only do they satisfy my love of a striped trouser (and they have a shorts option too), but they look good enough for the inevitable family video-calls!”

Rebecca Perlmutar, Junior Fashion Editor: Eco-friendly byrd cloth Arctic parka by WOOLRICH
“As a Canadian I know a thing or two about staying warm and at the moment I can’t stop thinking about this yellow Woolrich parka – the perfect Chanukah gift.”

Jordan Duddy, Fashion & Market Coordinator: Element shirt by MARTINE ROSE
“This Martine Rose shirt is the 70s American prom dream. I love the soft pink colour and oversized fit, a classic example of Martine playing with silhouettes and proportions.”

George Pistachio, Fashion Assistant: DC crest knit scarf by DSQUARED2
“In the cold winter months it’s so important to have a cosy scarf, and where better to get one than Dsquared2?”

Isabella Kavanagh, Fashion Assistant: Pressed flower earring by EMILY FRANCES BARRETT
"I’d love a pressed flower earring by artist and jeweller Emily Frances Barrett who makes unique pieces from both precious and found, organic objects. This earring, along with other pieces, is currently available to buy at House of Bandits, an e-commerce site set up by the Sarabande Foundation, established by Alexander McQueen, to support and promote creative, independent talent. You buy directly so the artists and designers truly benefit.”
