Guess What Vogue Staffers Are Packing for the Holidays?

Ethiopia, the South of France, Jackson Hole: These are not places I have ever been, but joke’s on me and you and all of us, because Vogue’s most photogenic and independently wealthy editors will be touching down for some casual visits over Christmas—and they even allowed us into their beautiful homes to watch them pack.

“You never know when you have to go somewhere that’s just a little bit more formal,” intones Vogue.com style editor Edward Barsamian, which is not something I can personally relate to. Other must-have items from the Condé cool kids (Alessandra Codinha, Chloe Malle, Hamish Bowles, Jane Bishop, and Karley Sciortino) include “very cozy soft cashmere sweaters,” “my Ritalin so I can think,” “a linen lingerie bag,” and “my hairbrush from the Kardashian collection.”

The one great thing about this video is the fact that I have finally been allowed a peek into Hamish Bowles’ home, which has exactly the rich lighting and elegant decor that one would expect.
