Well, less of a tree and more of an ethereal cloaked figure 3 metres (10 feet) high that emits a brilliant white light.
It is the brainchild of Miss Sohee, or Sohee Park, who follows in the footsteps of designers like Alexander McQueen in creating the festive centrepiece for one of Britain’s most prestigious institutions.
This is merely the cherry on top of an extraordinary year for Miss Sohee. The now 26-year-old designer arrived in London from Seoul, South Korea, as a student to attend fashion school Central Saint Martins – her aspirations then included “getting a visa and finding a job in fashion”.
Now, thanks to her colourful, beautifully cut, embellished couture designs, she has become one of the city’s most feted young designers.
