French elegance meets LA glamour as the hotel and fashion designer create a haute couture Christmas

LOS ANGELES – Nov. 23, 2019 – Sofitel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills is ringing in the holidays with Art De Noel, the annual Christmas rendezvous that unites Sofitel hotels worldwide. Inspired by the world of haute couture, this year’s theme of ‘Christmas Couture’ invites guests to be dazzled by a distinctive design experience with a touch of French elegance and “art de vivre”, to “live the French way”.

While the theme emphasizes the chicness of French haute couture, the fashion influences of the City of Angels represent the glitzy glamour. To blend the two opposite yet complementary worlds to life, the hotel is partnering with American fashion designer Natalia Fedner, who is best known for her unorthodox use of metal textiles and knit evening wear. Educated in Paris and New York City, the Project Runway star is recognized for creating avant garde pieces for celebrities including Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Cher, Charlize Theron, Kim Kardashian, and Lenny Kravitz. In collaboration with French mannequin company Window France, Fedner is transforming Sofitel Los Angeles into a modish fashion maison for the holidays by using their extraordinary abstract mannequins to showcase her artistic creations. From Dec. 1, 2019 through Dec. 31, guests can experience the one-of-a-kind holiday decor they won’t find anywhere else.

Fedner’s garments and jewelry will be on display throughout the hotel, as well as utilized for unexpected yet glamorous holiday decor, from festive garlands to one-of-a-kind tree ornaments. Her signature, patent pending textile is a 100% stretch metal that instantaneously molds to the body, adopting the heat of the wearer within 15 seconds. Using gold, rose gold and silver-plated metals, Fedner’s wearable art will add glittering and alluring appeal to traditional holiday decor. Guests will marvel at the rare pieces that adorn the hotel, as well as the eye-catching Window France mannequins situated at the entryway, concierge and 30-foot Christmas tree.

Whether a local Angeleno or afar traveler, guests and visitors can take home a piece of the The Art De Noel ‘Christmas Couture’ experience by Sofitel Los Angeles. Fedner’s spectacular garments and exclusive ornaments from the Sofitel tree will be available for purchase, price upon request.

A mecca of intriguing design bursting with Instagram-worthy moments, Sofitel Los Angeles will be dressed to impress this holiday season. See the Christmas Couture winter wonderland for a limited time from Dec. 1, 2019 through Dec. 31.
