MORE ABOUT: French Chic
Les Sapins de Noel des Créateurs, now in its 16th season, is a collection of original Christmas trees from top French fashion designers, architects, and interior designers. Each year the trees are auctioned off for a good cause and this year proceeds will go to Association pour la Vie-Espoir contre le Cancer (A.V.E.C.), a children’s cancer charity.
Designers/fashion brands this year include Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Sonia Rykiel, Pierre Hermé, Trussardi, Chantal Thomass, and Stella McCartney. Take a look…
