A Can-Can inspired Christmas tree that could only be from Jean Paul Gaultier


Not many people use the words ‘Christmas’ and ‘Can-Can’ in the same breath, but designer Jean Paul Gaultier is hardly most people. A Can-Can themed Christmas tree created by the designer attracted the highest bid at 22nd edition of the annual Paris-based designer Christmas tree charity event organized by fashion journalist Marie-Christiane Marek

The exceptional tree features a frame shaped like a dancer in a classic pose with one foot kicked high in the air, wearing a skirt of Christmas tree branches. “I love Christmas and I love Paris and when thinking of the tree this year I wanted to do an homage to Paris. First I was thinking of the Eiffel Tower, but I finally decided to go with Can-Can. And the skirt is the real tree. So she can dance through Christmas,” said Gaultier.
