A Vogue Editor’s Approach to Black Friday Shopping
Our editors approach Black Friday with a discerning eye. It’s not just about the deals; it’s about strategic shopping that complements their existing style. Libby Page, our Executive Commerce Director, emphasizes the importance of sticking to a pre-existing wish list. ‘Only purchase things that are already on your wish list,’ she advises. ‘If it wasn’t there in the first place, chances are you don’t need it.’ This strategy prevents impulse buys and ensures that each purchase truly adds value to the wardrobe.
