Festivus for the Rest of Us

November 12, 2008

Gareth Pugh has designed Christmas trees for Topshop’s Oxford Street stores. Regarding the project, Pugh told Vogue UK:

“This neon tree is my interpretation of the traditional Christmas tree shape, putting a super-slick and modern edge to it,” the designer explains. “Neon was an obvious choice for me, linking it both to the aesthetic of the room I designed at London Fashion Week in September, and the set of my debut show in Paris for spring/summer 2009.”

“I think the simple melding of tradition and modernity aptly suits the mood at the moment; we are all looking to a brighter future.”

Can you imagine inviting these kids over for Christmas dinner?
