O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! You stand in verdant beauty….


A few weeks back we got a sneaky peak of Mr. John Galliano’s sketches for this year’s Claridges Christmas tree – a misty colour pallet of nudes and naturals adorned with butterflies, ivy and a … leopard?!!

So on Tuesday night, after a very long day in the office, we literally POP-ED around the corner to Claridges to finally see the unveiling of that very special Dior tree. Displayed in the main stairway the tree stood proudly next to a group of Carol singers who ‘Deck The Halls’, whilst vintage Christian Dior dresses were wowed by the guests!

Not a bad way to start the party season: surrounded by these stunning Dior Archive dresses, midst a room full of beautiful people including the iconic Bianca Jagger, the lovely Dior Girls Laura & Sian, …and sipping on a well deserved glass of Moët.

I can only imagine what John’s own Christmas parties must be like.
