The Fashion Hunt
Ahead of the official public launch of the FabergéBig
Egg Hunt tomorrow, hosted by Emilia Fox, we have the event's most fashionable
eggs to show you. From Lady Amanda
Harlech's design,
which is adorned with pressed flowers, to Tommy
Hilfiger's bow-covered
creation, begin your Easter celebrations HERE.
A number of the eggs were unveiled today in different locations across
London - from Potters Field Park by Tower Bridge to The Ritz Hotel on Park
Lane.
Updated Friday January 20, 11.52am: Bruce Oldfield, Zandra
Rhodes, Mary Katrantzou and Diane von Furstenberg are contributing to the Fabergé Big Egg Hunt by designing and decorating
their own giant eggs. On Saturday February 21, over 200 eggs created by art and
fashion's biggest names will be strategically placed around London and the
public given the task of finding them. The works will then be put up for
auction, with proceeds going towards Elephant Family, which raises money for
endangered Asian elephants, and Action for Children - the renowned children's
charity.
"I find it very therapeutic, moulding the lace around the egg,
snipping and cutting, pinning together a jigsaw of tiny lace motifs to make a
seamless couture skin," Oldfield told us. "It's certainly worthy of
Fabergé and worth the effort for what it will bring to the two causes
involved."
The project is set to break world records for the most participants in
an Easter egg hunt and the world's most expensive chocolate egg, created by
William Curley. Other names taking part include Rob Ryan, Polly Morgan and
George Butler, as well as street artists Mr Hicks and Marcinella - who started
the celebrations last Saturday with a live art exhibition, where both artists
went head-to-head to paint one half of an egg.
