Maria de la Orden
Those in search of designs that personify “pretty” need look no further than Maria de la Orden’s eponymous brand. Candy-pink cords, lilac-tartan tailoring and sparkling shirt dresses reveal the warmth and beauty she brings to daily dressing. The mood is deliciously festive, so we quizzed the chic creative on how else to conjure a stylish Christmas…
Christmas cooking…
I wish I knew how to cook. Thankfully my father is a great chef, and I take care of making the house warm and nicely decorated.
Decorating the table…
Add some gold or silver touches to your table, alongside beautiful flowers and candles.
I’ll be listening to…
I love all the Christmas classics.
I’ll be wearing…
As I am eight months pregnant, I’ll be wearing a knitted dress from Khaite – it’s the only thing I can fit in at the moment!
I’ll be watching…
“The Holiday” and “Home Alone” are my favourite movies to watch every year at Christmas.
My festive tradition…
In Spain, for New Year’s Eve, we have to eat 12 grapes at the count of midnight to bring us luck for the New Year ahead.
My favourite treat…
Traditional Spanish Christmas desserts like turrón.
My Christmas smells like…
Cinnamon and the scent of a fireplace.
How I’ll give back…
Mission Enfance is an organization we really care about. It is presided over by a friend of the family and it aims to helps children all around the world.
