Russian Celebrities at New Year’s Trees Auction “Haute Couture”
Recently, in the capital was held the traditional Christmas charity auction, arranged to collect funds to help seriously ill children. The initiator of the event was the GUM, and the money was collected by the “life line” fund.
A lot of fashion houses of the world supported the event; especially for the New Year they developed the design of Christmas trees.
The evening was leaded by Ksenia Sobchak, and among the guests and participants of the auction were many local stars in wonderful costumes, as shown in our gallery.Despite the considerable initial price of trees “haute couture” (70 000 rubles), many of them were sold, and approximately 4 500 000 rubles was collected for such a good purpose.
Stars were very attracted with the idea to become the owners of such unusual New Year masterpieces, and a special boom was brought by a Christmas tree from Dior, Chaumet and Llardo.
The tree from Louis Vuitton was acquired after the fierce bidding of Sati Spivakova (by the way, she is the “face” of the Russia brand). Catherine Mtsituridze became the owner of “green beauty” from Van Cleef & Arpels, and Miroslav Duma – from Cartier.
