Named 'The Celestial Snow Globe', the design will pay tribute to Dior's savoir faire and craftsmanship, taking inspiration from the toile of the Dior couture ateliers - a delicate, translucent material used in the pre-production of clothing. The tree will mix holographic projections with a white toile, to produce "a poetic interplay of transparency".
Commenting on the collaboration, Kim Jones said, “It is a great honour for me to design the Christmas Tree for Claridge’s and thus bring Dior, London and the Christmas spirit together in this iconic place.”
“Christmas has always been a truly special time of the year for us here at Claridge’s, and we are delighted, for the first time in many years, to welcome a homegrown designer to create our illustrious tree.” Claridge’s co-owner, Paddy McKillen
