Claridge's Christmas tree by John Galliano
Claridge's is one of the most classic luxury hotels in London and last year pulled the attention during the Christmas & New Year holidays with its collaboration with John Galliano for the Christmas tree that was nestled within the curve of the giant staircase in the hotel's lobby.
As we read in the official newsletter, John Galliano is returning to Claridge's as he designs the hotel's Christmas tree for the second year running. This time he is inspired by ocean to create an “Under the Sea” Christmas tree made of sparkling silver leaves, pink coral, sea horses, fish, anemones, starfish and jelly fish.
Commenting on the collaboration, Dior Creative Director John Galliano says, “The majestic beauty of Claridge’s Art Deco interiors never fails to inspire me. I am thrilled to be invited to create a new tree for Christmas at Claridge’s. I wanted to create an underwater fantasy and have mixed pink corals, seahorses, anemones and jellyfish, all glinting like gem stones, swimming amidst the silver leaves. I hope we create something as sumptuous as its setting and this inspires a truly luxurious escape and a very festive season at Claridge’s.”
Thomas Kochs, Claridge’s Hotel Manager, commented, “We are excited to see the return of the legendary John Galliano, who will once again create the Christmas magic in our lobby. Following his spectacular tree last year, we simply could not resist to see the new design which will keep London talking throughout the season. Both Claridge's and Dior are synonymous with timeless glamour and impeccable heritage and we look forward to celebrating the festive season together.”
