For the past 8 years, Claridge’s luxury hotel in Mayfair has been collaborating with famous designers and have entrusted them with the task of designing their Christmas tree. It was recently announced that this year’s designer will be Karl Lagerfeld. We still have no idea about what Karl’s Christmas Tree for Claridge’s will look like, but we won’t have to wait long, since the official unveiling will take place at the hotel’s lobby on the morning of November 22, which is a little more than a week from now. Lagerfeld will be the 8th in the line of creative visionaries for have been invited to put their stamp on the Christmas decorations of the famous hotel, following, Jony Ive, chief design officer at Apple, industrial designer Marc Newson, Burberry’s Christopher Bailey (photo of the tree on the right, above), and Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. They have all interpreted Christmas in their own distinctive styles in the past, and we can’t wait to see what Karl has to share with us. The German-born designer stated about his collaboration with the iconic hotel, that “Christmas trees are the strongest ‘souvenir’ of my happy childhood.” We couldn’t agree more Karl! We’ll stay tuned for the big unveiling! 🙂
