In the fashion world, Sessilee Lopez, Siri Tollerød and Lakshmi Menon
may be three of the year's most talked-about new faces, but off the runway --
and in their homes for the holidays -- it's less about photo opportunities
and more about apartment decorating, family visits -- and julegøgg. They
reveal the gifts they crave.
Siri Tollerød, 20
Where you've seen her: On the runway at Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, John
Galliano, and Chanel (to name a few) and in advertising campaigns for Gwen
Stefani's L.A.M.B. and Alberta Ferretti.
Favorite holiday traditions: "For Christmas I am going home to Norway to be
with my family and just relax. We always decorate the tree in the afternoon
on the December 23rd and then we sit down with holiday cookies and julegøgg
(a holiday drink). On Christmas Eve, we all wake up and watch the morning
shows on television, especially one that we never miss called 'Three Nuts
for Cinderella.' It's a very old program and we look forward to it the whole
year."
On her wish list:
- A vintage Yves Saint Laurent fur coat
- A Christian Louboutin Kyeops clutch
- The book "But Not When it Comes to Your Daughter" by Jan Guillou
- A new television
Sessilee Lopez, 19
Where you've seen her: A new addition to the Victoria's Secret arsenal of
angels, Lopez made waves when Steven Meisel shot her for the cover of Vogue
Italia's black edition. She went on to walk in major runway shows including
Marc Jacobs and star in department store Bergdorf Goodman's latest campaign.
On her holiday to-do list: "I just moved into a new apartment that is
completely empty so I just want to get around to having a housewarming party
and relax. This year has been completely crazy. To have so many shows in so
many cities -- going from New York to London to Paris to Milan was hot."
On her wish list:
- A tool set
- Makeup
- Essential oils
- Karl by Karl Lagerfeld tattoo arm jewelry
Lakshmi Menon, 26
Where you've seen her: In advertising campaigns for H&M, Givenchy and
Hermes, on the pages of American Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and on the cover of
ELLE India.
Holiday travel plans: "I live in Goa, one of the most beautiful holiday
destinations in the world. So being home is the best holiday. And this is
the best time because friends and family from all over visit so it doubles
as a reunion. So at the top of my list is a speedboat to get me quickly
along the coast to my favorite places and a little beach house."
On her wish list:
- Organic skin products from Mon Soin du Visage
- The book "Wasted Vigil" by Nadeem Aslam
- The album "The Bootleg Series" by Bob Dylan
- A Savio Jon sundress
