Without a doubt, Iris Law is one of my favorite Gen Z models in the fashion industry. At just 24 years old, Law has the kind of résumé that someone twice her age would envy. Just to name a few accomplishments, she's walked the runway for Miu Miu and Roberto Cavalli, landed covers for Vogue Korea, Vogue Japan, and V magazine, and starred in campaigns for Versace and Burberry. Oh, and let's not forget that she also serves as a global brand ambassador for David Yurman. All of this is to say that I was excited to get the chance to speak with Law and chat about all things holiday, travel, and jewelry. Keep reading for our full interview.

What's the #1 jewelry item you'd love to receive as a gift and why?

Everyone knows my favorite piece is the David Yurman Reverse Set Pave Pinky Ring and I want to collect more for different fingers! I love mixing gold and silver, so my dream gift would be another ring for my left-hand collection.

What jewelry items will you be gifting and why?

The David Yurman Sculpted Cable Bangle Bracelets are such a nice choice in my opinion because I think people are more inclined to collect or gift other things like rings and necklaces, but a good bracelet complements every outfit and can be kept sentimentally.

If someone is building their first designer capsule jewelry collection, which three David Yurman pieces do you recommend they start with and why?

I love the Box Chain Necklace, which can be worn on its own, layered, or personalized with pendants from the other collections. The Cablespira Flex Bracelet is so beautiful and comfortable to wear, and there are so many different colored gem variations. I love them all. Lastly, this ring is delicate and the stackable design means the collection can keep being added to either by yourself or by loved ones.

Where will you be traveling for the holidays and what do you plan on wearing?

I am going to New Orleans! I’ll be with family so I will be in pajamas all day every day.

What's your favorite outfit for a long-haul flight?

Cashmere and lots of layers. I have a Paloma Wool knit hat and scarf bonnet, which I love to wrap around me. I also bring a silk eye mask. I love my Vanity Nap tracksuit because it looks smart, I feel good in it, and it’s really comfortable. I also love my Sézane cardigans.

What do you avoid wearing on a flight?

Anything uncomfortable. Jeans are absolutely a no and I’m always so surprised when people wear shorts because planes are so cold!

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
