Finding the best gifts for fashion girls isn’t easy. What do you get the person who has everything in their closet and knows all the latest designers and trends? Even a shopping fanatic might have a hard time deciding. A fashion gift that no one else thought of (or no one else has, rather) speaks volumes. A good winter coat is great, as far as gifting goes. But a Rick Owens floor-length puffer is next level for anyone who is a high-fashion devotee.
And for the discerning fashion person who loves an oddball gift, that’s where emerging designers, special limited edition collaborations and DIY gifts come in. Take, for example, Susan Alexandra’s bead kit, which yields several pieces of jewelry in the designer’s signature aesthetic, all designed by whoever you gift. Or Ottolinger’s signature ceramic bags, which look like art as much as they do accessories. Of course, heeled Crocs from Balenciaga and nail tattoos from Nails by Mei (the nail artist who works with brands from Bottega Veneta to Moschino) are also sure to impress. Finding an unusual fashion gift is all about picking something that’s memorable and makes a statement for years to come.
