With only a week left until Christmas, we called in our tiny friends from the North Pole to visit Vogue<\/em> headquarters at One World Trade Center for some holiday help. The only requirement was that they dress to impress fashion\u2019s version of Santa Claus, Anna Wintour, and they called upon a few local designer pals for a favor ahead of the big day.<\/p>\n

Much like the Vogue<\/em> staff, not all our visiting elves march to the same style beat. For the elf who wanted to go a traditional and classic route, CFDA president Thom Browne lent a few Hectors (Browne\u2019s beloved canine turned pocketbook) to act as sleigh to transport the elf from Paris back to New York, picking up some new miniature handbag charms, gray pleated skirt suits, and gingerbread men on the way. It was quite the shopping extravaganza, but by a Christmas miracle, all the new goodies fit inside Hector\u2019s silk-lined striped pouch for the ride back across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the elf who wanted to use its first trip to New York to attend some of the season\u2019s most exclusive holiday parties after meetings at 1WTC sought out New York City\u2019s brightest emerging designers and cool kids, Tanner Fletcher. The brand\u2019s signature bow suit, famously worn by Bad Bunny, got the miniature treatment for that elf, who made a chic and festive entrance when arriving at various f\u00eates, presents in hand. Another elf made its way to Batsheva Hay\u2019s Nolita storefront, where it was decked in a mix-and-match strapless gown before stopping by Drybar, the nail salon, and Sephora, where they got glammed up for the evening out. With these \u2018fits, it was no surprise that our elf friends made it into every holiday-party roundup on Vogue.com.<\/p>\n

As for the elves who came to the city to relax and sightsee, they walked over to Tribeca to visit downtown\u2019s coolest It girl and boy\u2014Olympia Gayot and Brendon Babenzian\u2014at J.Crew. There, they cozied up in Fair isle sweaters, red peacoats, corduroys, and winter boots fit to keep them warm\u2014and fashionable\u2014while visiting the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, ice skating at Central Park\u2019s Wollman Rink, and making snow angels in Sheep Meadow. Luckily for all the elves back home in the North Pole, our visiting guests will return via Thom Browne\u2019s Hector sleigh with all their holiday shopping in tow. The only worry is what will happen now that the elves got a taste of high fashion. Will designer uniforms from Santa himself be at the top of next year\u2019s list?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Thom Browne doll, which Vogue<\/em> editors received last December, served as an inspiration for the story. Here, the doll wears Thom Browne and is perched on a Hector bag while Hector and gingerbread bag charms accompany the doll on its multicity shopping trip.<\/p>\n

The Tanner Fletcher elf wears the brand\u2019s signature satin Walt bow suit with its accompanying blue ribbons, famously worn by Bad Bunny. The elves are getting ready to hit the town and all of Savannah Engel\u2019s clients\u2019 parties with their holiday presents in hand because, according to Vogue<\/em>\u2019s etiquette column, bringing your hostess a gift is always a good idea.<\/p>\n

The Batsheva elf took a trip downtown to the designer\u2019s Nolita storefront, where she got dressed in a colorful multiprint strapless gown. After trying on her sample dress, she stopped by Drybar, Sephora, and the nail salon to get all glammed up before meeting the Tanner Fletcher elf at Balthazar for pre-party drinks. (Unfortunately, due to their last-minute planning, they could not secure a reservation elsewhere, but thanks to Anna Wintour\u2019s assistants, they were able to snag room at the bar of the iconic SoHo restaurant.)<\/p>\n

The J.Crew elves kept things simple after their trip to One World Trade Center, where they met the Vogue<\/em> employees they\u2019ve been seeing all over TikTok. Instead of spending the rest of the afternoon prepping for holiday parties, they opted to hit all of New York City\u2019s holiday sightseeing spots, from the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to Central Park (where Blair Waldorf famously went ice skating in season one of Gossip Girl<\/em>).<\/p>\n
