As the Fashion Director of Shopbop, Caroline Maguire’s role includes overseeing the buying for the brand, as well as dictating the editorial look and feel of the website – you could even say, she dictates what we buy.
With Shopbop currently selling more than 1,000 designers to a global audience, who better to get a little last minute shopping advice and inspiration from? Her eagle eye is trained to hone in on new brands and spot trends before anyone else – she is an unquestionable authority on all matters of style.
Hot off celebrating Shopbop’s 20th Anniversary, which also saw the brand launch its first ever pop up, we catch up with the New-York based Caroline Maguire to find out what’s she’s wearing and gifting this festive season...
Here are my top five: a splurge-worthy watch an amazing Monse coat as I love the plaid, the technical weave, and the sporty silhouette, a new set of pots and pans for cooking and entertaining this holiday season, some jewellery — especially if diamonds are involved and finally, a weekend trip somewhere (sans kids!).
Over the years I have learned to gift experiences rather than tangible items. If I am gifting physical items, I’m always sure that they are useful and wanted, rather than blind gifting. I always make sure to save wrapping paper/bags from gifts that I receive so that I can re-use in the future.
