Philip Treacy designs deckchair for charity

29 July 2010

Hat designer Philip Treacy has teamed up with Bloomberg and the Royal Parks Foundation to create a deckchair featuring an image of Linda Evangelista donning one of his hats. It's in aid of Deckchair Dreams which is a charity initiative launched by the Royal Parks Foundation in 2006 and sponsored by Bloomberg. Other contributing designers include cartoonist Ronald Searle, Disney illustrator Alex Williams and wildlife sculptor Simon Gudgeon. The chairs are displayed simultaneously in London, at the UK pavilion at Shanghai Expo and in Shanghai Botanical Garden.
