Figue’s Creative Director, Liz Lange, Shares Her Holiday Wish List

The fashion industry veteran selects an eclectic collection of accessories, tableware, and home accents perfect for the stylesetter on your list

By Jill Sieracki
Fashionable items including a beaded mask, floral decor, candle, camo bag, and elegant serving dish on a coral background.

A mainstay of the Palm Beach and Hamptons fashion set, Figue dresses, kaftans, and skirts are instantly recognizable for their colorful patterns and stunning embroidery. Additionally, the line offers a matching array of linens, translating a jetsetter-chic palette and exuberant patterns into tablecloths, napkins, and placemats.

Conjured by industry veteran Liz Lange, the collection is an extension of the designer’s own maximalist taste, which is on vivacious display in her homes, including her renovation of the iconic Grey Gardens estate in East Hampton.

Here, the celebrated aesthete shares the poppy pieces on her holiday shopping list.

1. When I am designing for Figue, I am constantly inspired by the swans and the images in this book are my go-to.
