London, November 24th 2021 \u2013 Claridge\u2019s, London\u2019s legendary Mayfair hotel has unveiled Claridge\u2019s Christmas Tree 2021 in the hotel lobby, created by Kim Jones, Artistic Director of the Dior men\u2019s collections.<\/p>\n

Every year we write about the Claridge\u2019s Christmas Tree, because we simply love the idea! Creating buzz and free publicity together! We loved the decorations by McQueens Flowers<\/a>, Christian Louboutin<\/a> and Karl Lagerfeld <\/a>for example. Last week the Pulitzer hotel<\/a> announced that their Christmas Tree will be decorated by Claes Iversen, and this tree will be ready in the beginning of December. As said: this idea can be used at every level: have your lobby decorated for the Holiday Season by a local artist and create a buzz and free publicity with a great tree lighting party! cal artists in designing the annual Christmas tree.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘The Celestial Snow Globe’ | Claridge\u2019s Christmas Tree 2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This year\u2019s tree, named \u2018The Celestial Snow Globe\u2019 evokes the idea of a magnificent snow globe: an enchanting object of desire, illuminated with magical sparkles and reflecting snowflakes, travelling across the surface of the dazzling tree. State-of-the-art holographic projections are mixed with toile, recalling the emblematic toile of the Dior Haute Couture Ateliers, and traditional pleating techniques are also highlighted, a tribute by Kim Jones to the excellence of the Dior Ateliers \u2018petites mains\u2019. These projections radiate from the base, upwards and beyond the tree, creating magical visuals around the space and up the famous staircase, all set against an atmosphericly lit lobby.<\/p>\n

In another nod to the House\u2019s heritage, the Christmas baubles, that seem to float in orbit around the tree, reflect Dior\u2019s iconic motifs. These include, stars \u2013 Monsieur Dior\u2019s celestial good-luck charm \u2013 and miniature perfume bottles in the form of Monsieur Dior’s dog, Bobby, who was symbolically reinterpreted and celebrated by Kim Jones for his first Dior show. This whimsical homage to the House\u2019s founder continues with Kim Jones\u2019s faithful canine companion, Cookie, perched on top of the 6.5 meter tree, delicately hugging Monsieur Dior\u2019s lucky star. The star echoes the shape of the talisman that Monsieur Dior treasured in his office \u2013 a decisive sign of his destiny that played a key role in his decision to create his couture house in 1946. This unique, contemporary tree \u2013 luminous and crystalline in its transparency and purity \u2013 tells a Christmas story woven from emotions and dreams.<\/p>\n

Commenting on his installation, Kim Jones<\/a> said \u201cIt has been a great honour for me to have designed the Christmas Tree for Claridge\u2019s this year. I\u2019m excited to kick off the holiday season in such an iconic British institution and to bring the festive spirit of Dior to London with my upcoming menswear show\u201d.<\/p>\n

Claridge\u2019s co-owner Paddy McKillen said \u201cChristmas has always been a truly special time of the year for us here at Claridge\u2019s, and we are delighted, for the first time in many years, to welcome a homegrown designer to create our illustrious tree.\u201d<\/p>\n
