The windows @HarveyNichols
Art and High fashion fusion. A well executed window display is something to behold, and I have profound respect for the minds that create them. Harvey Nichols gets it right, every time. The displays are so uniquely crafted, it embodies the concept of the store down to the very finest detail, be it a couch…
