If speed was a christmas window, it would be this window. And that analogy, aptly captures the windows of Selfridges this Christmas. You know Selfridges really tries it and it overshoots and overcommits, and it comes out with something because if you are looking for a window that is high on everything and some of the good stuff… welcome to high land starring the Selfridges windows because this TEW MUCH! Everything is loud like BAM! BAM! BAAAAAAAAAAM!!
They threw everything at it and decided everything stuck. Shining, like a bright star in the sky, I mean brighter than a sky it is LOUD it SCREAMS and I am not sure if this was conceived the morning after a drunken night out but somebody was committed to going overboard, it is the 20s all over again in the era of prohibitions and booze and debauchery, but throw in the acid trip and techno, throw in excess and green?
Throw in Disney, but just Mickey, you know, we dont want to go overboard but throw in a gold christmas tree, and then let’s take a pause with cherries and minimalism… you see what I mean and at some point our girl either wants to be at the club or be at dinner with the in-laws or maybe both but make her wear silver! Then there are candles on gold lamé!! These windows are a fire hazard! And if it needed a soundtrack it would be Firestarter by Prodigy. Matter of fact this whole series of windows could be its own techno beats club.
And then at the end or the beginning depending on your direction, there was a star that reminded one, one being me, of David Bowie, so there’s that. I don’t know but this is a lot to take in all at once.
