‘Trimming’ the holiday tree takes on new meaning this season as several hotels worldwide have tapped fashion designers to deck property Christmas trees in their own signature styles. In a break from the traditional decor, these trees reflect the very core of several brands’ DNA. Whether it’s all-out maximalist glam or serene sculptural modernity, the merge of flora and fashion is sure to delight this holiday season. Read on for fashion-forward Christmas trees to check out this winter.
Burberry Bows at Claridge’s, London
Claridge’s
At Claridge’sin London, Daniel Lee, the chief creative officer at Burberry, has decorated a 16-foot tree with some 600 bows made from surplus Burberry fabrics. Alongside the bows are hanging bells and chess-piece ornaments. The latter is inspired by the brand’s Equestrian Knight Design, featuring a knight on horseback who is carrying a flag and shield. The top of the tree will appropriately boast a gold crown while at the tree’s base, there will be oversized, floor-standing chess pieces.
The project officially debuted on Nov. 25, 2025. “Being invited to design the hotel’s annual Christmas tree is a huge honor,” Lee said in a press release. “I saw it as an opportunity to celebrate tradition and togetherness—expressing the season through vibrant colors and rich textures. Christmas is my favorite time of the year.”
The historic Mayfair hotel is not new to curating runway-worthy holiday decor. For 15 years, the store has invited designers and other distinguished guests to reinterpret the classic Christmas tree in their own distinctive styles. Past participants include luminaries like Karl Lagerfeld, Diane von Furstenberg, and Christian Louboutin.
Sculptural Sparks at the Pulitzer Amsterdam
Over at the Pulitzer Amsterdam in the canal district, a massive, almost 30-foot tree is a striking centerpiece in the front garden. It is emblazoned with sparkling, sculptural ornaments in champagne-hues. Dubbed “Festive Sparks,” the tree—the handiwork of designer David Laport—is a riff on his latest couture collection featuring hand-embroidered, 3D textures. Laport, who has dressed the likes of Rihanna, Solange Knowles, and Sia, noted that his holiday efforts are about “celebrating togetherness, light and sparkle, while showing that design can live beyond the runway.”
Golden Hues at the St. Regis, Atlanta
The St. Regis Atlanta
At the St. Regis Atlanta, Jan Haedrich, MME.MINK’s founder and designer known best for her handbags and totes, has put her luxe touch on the hotel’s 22-foot tree for the second year. The designer wanted to reflect a “celestial holiday ballroom,” in part to celebrate the St. Regis brand’s 120th anniversary this year. Set in the lobby, it is decorated with shimmering baubles, cherubs (made in Rome), golden birds, and a massive white bow. The tree plays homage to the brand’s old-world charm and playful sophistication. “Every element is meant to carry the same spirit as our heirloom totes: a blend of craftsmanship, narrative, and legacy,” Haedrich told T+L via email.
Vera Wang’s Ode to Romance at L’Ermitage Beverly Hills
L’Ermitage Beverly Hills
This winter, Vera Wang has channeled her decidedly romantic perspective onto a fanciful tree in the lobby of 50-year-old L’Ermitage Beverly Hills. Drenched in crystals, the elegant tree is capped by a gigantic black bow, a Wang signature, as evidenced by the gown that sits on a mannequin beside it. The look is straight off the designer’s Spring 2026 Haute Couture bridal collection, and it features tulle, floral appliques, elaborate beading, and of course an oversized black bow. Logoed ribboned black gift boxes sit at the base of the tree. Do they contain any holiday merch? One can only hope.
