What if Santa could ditch his big red jackets with furry white cuffs for the latest designer collections?

Thanks to design studio Joint London, now he can. Father Christmas got a high end designer makeover and is seen wearing a number of different looks by leading fashion houses such as Alexander Wang, Saint Laurent and Kenzo, in a series of illustrations that drags him into the 21st century generation.

Just picture the iconic festive figure sporting Saint Laurent’s skinny jeans and leather biker jacket, or a colourful full Kenzo outfit combined with a zebra print cap, or even a sport luxe look by Wang. Surprisingly, Santa carries these designer looks very well – he even got the bushy ‘hipster beard’.

With these illustrations consider the Christmas card for your fashion pal, sorted.
