This year, The Comité Montaigne welcomes the non-profit exhibition The Designers Christmas Trees for the very first time. The event, organized by the journalist Marie-Christiane Marek, will take place from November 28th to December 15th in the Comité’s exhibition spaces on avenue Montaigne, rue François 1er, and Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. Showcasing a range of Christmas-inspired creations designed by reputed fashion designers and artists, the exhibition is an important appointment for collectors, amateurs and philanthropists. On December 15th the creations will be auction off live during an exclusive gala evening. The benefits from the auction and the gala will entirely go to the Avec Foundation, which helps to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from cancer, while supporting medical research.
