It is the last week till Christmas, everyone should be rushing around Central to gather the last few gifts to put under the tree.Except for designers who have been busy concocting Christmas trees for charity.
Zaha Hadid, Louis Vuitton, Miguel Adrover, and Jean Paul Gaultier, put their hands to the trees that went up for auction last week, after Paris's architecture museum was transformed in a holiday
tree-shop.Don't expect your regular pine tree though, the structures were more inspirational than traditional. Dazzling non the less.
Trees seem to be a popular structure to design this year, with Gareth Pugh creating a "modern seasonal celebratory symbol" for the new Westfield TopShop in London last month.
Lacking the minimum £40 000 Zaga Hadid's tree went for, I will be keeping to my mini-black, charity-shop tree this year. At least it isn't green: tradition with a twist is the new Christmas.
