YEAR OF THE SNAKE STYLE

HARRY WINSTON

The holidays are officially behind us, but around 2 billion people all over the world are gearing up for a season of renewal and fresh beginnings. Lunar New Year — which officially begins on January 29 — is celebrated in many Asian countries and diasporic communities, and is a state holiday here in California, home to the country’s largest population of Asian Americans. 

This year, we’re welcoming the Year of the Snake, specifically the Wood Snake, a significant year in Chinese astrology that’s associated with spiritual growth, creativity and transformation — apropos since snakes are known for shedding their skin. The 15-day celebration means giving and receiving little red envelopes, sharing feasts with family and friends, house cleaning and more.

Gift-giving is a major part of Lunar New Year celebrations, symbolizing good fortune and wishes of luck and prosperity for the new year ahead. Ready to join the festivities? Known for its elegance and charm, the zodiac animal for 2025 has inspired designers to create capsule collections that blend cultural traditions with contemporary design. 

Here are some of our favorite limited edition picks for elevating everything from your fits and gifts to your red-hot holiday table this Lunar New Year — available now at South Coast Plaza.
