| Event Name: | Carnaby Christmas Launch 2009 |
| Description: | The award winning Carnaby Christmas decorations take on a psychedelic theme this year to launch Carnaby’s 50th Anniversary in 2010; a year long celebration of the sixties, the decade in which Carnaby became an iconic fashion destination. To launch the decorations, a FREE open air swinging 60’s disco will take place in Carnaby Street on Tuesday 10 November 6pm - 7pm with a live DJ set from Eddie Piller, founder of Acid Jazz Records.
Carnaby is known for quirky Christmas decorations, and this year is no exception. The twelve streets of Carnaby will be filled with fifteen, six metre high inflatable decorations declaring 60’s festive messages of Love, Joy, Hope and Peace, along with four, six metre high inflatable hot pink reindeers, and surrounded by brightly coloured suspended Christmas trees and sparkling lights. Kingly Court will be home to beautiful, shimmering light installations and the Newburgh Quarter will be full of Christmas trees in vibrant 60’s colours.
The decorations are designed by Paul Dart, from the James Glancy Design Agency; “A psychedelic Christmas is a fond homage to the 50th birthday of Carnaby as it was the birthplace of the explosion of British fashion design and its vitality still invigorates the design world today.”
The colours are reminiscent of the 60’s including pillar box red, bright yellow, orange, acid green, purple and candy pink, making this Christmas in Carnaby a sight to be seen. |
