Vogue editors were mocked this weekend for revealing the long list of elite and exotic holiday destinations they’ll be traveling to “detox” from Christmas.
Though “How The Vogue Editors Are Spending Christmas This Year” was published on December 15, the article didn’t blow up on social media until this weekend, after one user earned nearly 40,000 Twitter likes for mocking the piece.

In the article, deputy editor Sarah Harris revealed she would “be heading to the Cayman Islands to stay at the newly opened Palm Heights for Christmas and New Year,” while fashion features editor Ellie Pithers wrote she’ll “be in the French Alps for New Year’s Eve,” because “a dose of icy alpine air always seems to sort me out after the excesses of Christmas.”
“I’m looking forward to a spell at Le Coucou in Méribel, a new hotel designed by Pierre Yovanovitch with a delicious-looking spa; and a stop-off at Le Refuge de Solaise in Val d’Isère. Only accessible via ski lift, it promises superlative stargazing and fresh powder before breakfast,” Pithers detailed.
Executive fashion news editor Olivia Singer boasted an upcoming trip to the Lanserhof for a week-long “detox” to “counterbalance the abundance of December,” and others spoke of exotic trips to Jamaica and Nicaragua, with lists of luxury clothing and accessories which they plan to take.
The article took heat on social media for being out of touch, with journalists from around the world expressing shock at the class divide between editors at Vogue and those with the same job position elsewhere.
I’ll be in my apartment, zigzagging between my fridge & my couch. Known as a land of empty lacroix cans & old blankets, its landscape feels ripe for napping & eating chips while sweating in my PJs. Xmas day will be spent on my bed, one of the world’s smallest private islands. https://t.co/S0GcaJtk4s

To counterbalance the healthfulness of L.A., I will be traveling to my family’s house in Nebraska to embark on a three-day regime of red meat, chocolate truffles and BBC mysteries. My streamlined wardrobe will work 24/7—sweaters from Target, and ratty sweatpants also from Target. https://t.co/cRDD64XTsZ

I, too, am escaping from the excesses of Christmas by spending New Years at a hotel only accessible by ski lift, drinking champagne in my cashmere tracksuit.
Lol, no. I’ll be drinking wine from a glass jug in my pajamas. La dolce vita. https://t.co/qJse1utNHE

You know all of these people are taking $200 kickbacks to mention some place, then hiding in their overpriced NY apartment sobbing when the spoon hits the bottom of the Häagen-Dazs carton instead. https://t.co/7w4FwaSqlL

So familiar. Reminds me of that one Christmas carol:
New York is where I’d rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue. https://t.co/6pFISEJVbW— Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) December 23, 2019
