Paris visitors who have chosen the Grand Hotel InterContinental for their stay during this Christmas season are not only fortunate to enjoy the elegant design and comfortable ambience in the lap of luxury but may also indulge in their passion for fashion. When we think Paris, we think fashion. It seems quite obvious, that the city’s most creative heads extend what is called ‘the city’s love affair with style’ in the most innovative ways with a Fashion Designers Christmas Tree Exhibition. Young designers of the renowned fashion school Duperré carve, arrange and shape Christmas trees using unconventional materials. The illustrious judging panel, including Jean-Paul Gaultier, Gaspard Yukievich and embroiderer Francois Lesage voted for the aspiring new talents who crave for recognition.
The attractive range of designs focused their usage on white, silver, brown and golden colours.
The winning entry showed an acrylic glass design that consisted of wool snowflakes with miniscule trees inside (creation by Floriane Leblong & Milane Puiolle). Second place was awarded to Sophie Allard and Audrey Speyer who took books to create their Christmas tree.
This event might get the ball rolling for alternative ways to celebrate Christmas, not only in prestigious tourist accommodations but also in our houses. Instead of buying real or - even worse - plastic Christmas trees, we might just strain our brain and act creatively next year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YButRm4BbMY
