In honor of the new year, ELLE.com caught up with seven of our favorite designers on how they&amp;#039;re spending New Year&amp;#039;s Eve and their favorite holiday memories. Rachel Zoe  Photo: Courtesy Rachel Zoe Her NYE plans: &amp;quot;My family and I are going to St. Barts for the holiday. Our best friends will also be there, so we plan to ring in the New Year together. For the last 15 years, we&amp;#039;ve been lucky enough to spend almost every New Year&amp;#039;s Eve together.&amp;quot; Dream holiday plans: &amp;quot;If I couldn&amp;#039;t be in St. Barts with my husband and son, then a staycation in L.A. with my family and friends would be everything\u2014on the beach in Malibu, ordering take-out in bathrobes would be heaven.&amp;quot; Favorite NYE memory: &amp;quot;For sure, my friend&amp;#039;s New Year&amp;#039;s party on the beach in St. Barts, with the most insane performance by No Doubt while surrounded by my closest friends.&amp;quot; Suno&amp;#039;s Max Osterweis  Photo: Tina Tyrell His NYE plans: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll be in Kenya at my family house in Lamu with my girlfriend and a bunch of close friends, enjoying the sun, the food, the water, and the slow Internet and spotty wireless connectivity.&amp;quot; Favorite holiday memory: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know if it&amp;#039;s the best, but definitely one of the most memorable...When I was a kid visiting Indonesia, a friend blindfolded me in the night, drove me to Borobudur, and placed me high on the temple. I took off my blindfold just as the sun was rising and spent the rest of the morning exploring the temple. Although I don&amp;#039;t think that today I&amp;#039;d willingly allow myself to be blindfolded and driven to some destination unknown, it was completely magical and something I&amp;#039;m glad I did at the time.&amp;quot; Clare Vivier  Photo: Courtesy Clare Vivier Her NYE plans: &amp;quot;For Christmas we went to Minnesota to be with my family, [so we&amp;#039;re] off to Mexico with some friends for New Year&amp;#039;s to warm up, literally, and chill out, figuratively, after Minnesota.&amp;quot; Favorite NYE memory: &amp;quot;Last year we went to Venice, Italy for New Year&amp;#039;s, and beautiful Venice in the winter won&amp;#039;t be forgotten soon!&amp;quot; Ostwald Helgason&amp;#039;s Susanne Ostwald and Ingvar Helgason  Photo: Courtesy Ostwald Helgason Their NYE plans: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re celebrating New Years together in Reykjavik. It&amp;#039;s going to be big this year!&amp;quot; Favorite holiday memory: &amp;quot;Susu running after lemmings in Norway when she was a kid, and Ingvar remembers fondly driving through Europe with his mom and two brothers when he was six years old, fighting wildly with his older brother all the way through Germany. It was a great trip despite, or maybe because of it!&amp;quot; Pamela Love  Photo: Courtesy Pamela Love Her NYE plans: &amp;quot;I will be in the rainforest with my husband.&amp;quot; Dream holiday plans: &amp;quot;A road trip through the Southwest.&amp;quot; Favorite holiday memory: &amp;quot;Last year, I spent my first Christmas with my husband and my new family in North Carolina.&amp;quot; Tanya Taylor  Photo: Paul Maffi Her NYE plans: &amp;quot;[We&amp;#039;re] heading to Scottsdale, Arizona for a spa retreat at the Sanctuary hotel with my fianc\u00E9e. We are then doing a little California adventure and heading to Palm Springs, L.A. and Santa Monica for a week.&amp;quot; Dream holiday plans: &amp;quot;I would love to go to Istanbul and celebrate New Year&amp;#039;s on the Bosphorus.&amp;quot; Favorite NYE memory: &amp;quot;New Year&amp;#039;s Eve 2010: A black-tie party on the beach in Barbados, pouring rain, and lots of sparklers.&amp;quot; Meredith Wendell&amp;#039;s Meredith and Wendell German  Photo: Chris Brooks Their NYE plans: &amp;quot;We are heading to Mexico to celebrate Wendell&amp;#039;s Mom&amp;#039;s 70th birthday and will finish the week at the Cabo Surf Hotel and hopefully learn to surf.&amp;quot; Favorite holiday memory: &amp;quot;I grew up near The Greenbrier hotel in West Virginia. We have spent many New Year&amp;#039;s Eves there\u2014it&amp;#039;s perfect, especially when it snows.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
