‘A White Christmas’ Tree by Daniel Fletcher at The Londoner
This year, The Londoner’s Christmas Tree is fittingly being designed by a Londoner. Daniel Fletcher is lauded as one of the hottest names in contemporary British fashion, and the design for his tree pulls in influences from his aesthetic, textiles and commitment to sustainability.
The overall theme for the tree is ‘A White Christmas’; a subtle nod to the traditional ideas of a British Christmas without being too conventional, and will be composed with a neutral palette which beautifully lends itself to the overall colour scheme of The Londoner.
