D&G design the Claridges Christmas Tree


Every year, the famous London hotel Claridges invites a designer to create their huge Christmas tree which takes pride of place in the lobby. Dolce and Gabbana were the chosen designers this year, with their beautiful, bright creation which was opened this week. Pixie Lott and David Gandy were just some of the celebrities who attended the tree 'premiere' in true Italian, D&G style. As Domenico Dolce and Stephano Gabbana are my favourite designers and I'm feeling quite Christmassy at the moment, I decided to share these wonderful Claridges trees with you, which will hopefully get you into the Christmas mood too!

For 2012, Kally Ellis designed the tree for McQueens, a London floral company. 2011's tree was by the one and only, Alber Elbaz which featured cartoon dolls, pink decorations and a lot of fun! John Galliano took the honour for his 2010 tree, entitled 'Under the Sea,' which looked as though it had come straight out of Ariel's underwater Kingdom. And for 2009, Dior designed their version of the tree, basing their ideas on the bare, crooked trees seen across the winter period, tipped with snow and looming high into the sky. Enjoy these magical creations...

Here is the 2013 tree by Dolce and Gabbana:


And from previous years...
