Exclusive Mayfair hotel Claridge’s has recruited Burberry designer and CEO Christopher Bailey to design this year’s festive landmark. Bailey joins a select list of fashion designers who have created the Christmas tree over the years, including Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, John Galliano and Alber Elbaz.

Bailey’s tree will explore the concept of light and dark, and comprise over 100 umbrellas finished in gold and silver metallic fabric. It will also feature sensors that will make it twinkle as visitors pass by, revealed The Telegraph.

Claridge’s general manager Thomas Kochs said ha was “delighted to welcome Christopher Bailey to add the enchanting Christmas magic and creativity of Burberry” to the hotel’s lobby.

The seasonal decoration is set to be unveiled on November 16.
