Each year Les Sapins de Noël des Créateurs (roughly: Christmas Trees of the Designers) sees big names in fashion, design and architecture creating their own take on the traditional Christmas tree.

The “trees” will then be put on display at the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild from 3-9 December before being auctioned off at a benefit gala to raise money for charity projects focused on helping children. The exhibition and auction have previously taken place exclusively in Paris but this year several works are making trips further afield. Contributions by Dior, Smalto, and Stella McCartney will be auctioned in Osaka, Japan while Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s creation will be heading to Frankfurt.
