Inspired by his red wedding dress design (as worn by Madonna), Christian Lacroix has created a special Evian Ice Queen bottle as part of the Design Icons series on show at Harrods this month. "It seems that Evian natural spring water has been there all my life, I remember the curly label of my childhood (were they arabesques, elaborate columns?) in the hotels by the lake where our family used to spend holidays," explains the designer." It is therefore as an amused and rather proud old friend that I designed these 2007-2008 bottles.Draping one with the flowers of success, those that adorn the 'paseo' parade capes, like snowy crystal garlands or frost-frozen alpine flowers. Giving the other the silhouette of a princess, a goddess or a mythical creature, a sort of snow fairy in couture garb, crowned with flowers, bejewelled with crystals, "wearing" the familiar range of jagged peaks and ridges, like the flounces of a crinoline." One of only 99 bottles in the world, customers will be able to place bids in a silent auction in aid of Royal Marsden. There is a minimum reserve of £1000. Design Icons at Harrods runs from today until May 24.
