Day 14 – The Christmas Windows- Selfridges
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…

Day 11 – Christmas Windows; Fortnum & Mason
It will always be Fortnum’s in one way or another for me, if it isn’t a first it is a close second because they take the magic of Christmas seriously. They have but a small window of opportunity to make passersby stop and gasp and by God do they make they best use of it.…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS | SELFRIDGES
Best in show by a country mile! Because Selfridges really said if there is a prize I am taking it. I AM TAKING ALL THE PRIZES. I would imagine sitting round the table in the visual merchandising strategy meeting for Christmas, no ideas were off limits. It came, it ate and left NO CRUMBS. Selfridges,…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS | CARTIER
If fantasy was a watch word, Cartier reinvented the wheel; because few brands evoke fantasy like they do every freaking Christmas season and it is always, always magical. It understands proportions and its relation to emotions so very well. As a single brand that does items in the really, really, really high price range for…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS | FORTNUM & MASON
You know how I feel about Fortnum’s it is my favourite department store in London. If ever there is a store that knows its brand, its consumer down to a fine science and understands that relationship with them? It is Fortnum’s. Absolutely completely so. Afternoon Tea the iconic jubilee tea salon that feels like one…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS- ANNABEL’S MAYFAIR
If ever there was an award for places that absolutely smash Christmas each year, Annabel’s would take the top prize every single time because I am mesmerised by what they do with the front of the private members cub, smack in the middle of Mayfair where precious few would deign to enter. Bear in mind…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS – LOUIS VUITTON
At first when I saw this, I wasn’t too sure about it; I was in two minds, because I thought they played it safe, but then the more I stood to look at it, the more a theme emerged at play. I like the clean lines of it without it being austere, it is still…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS- LIBERTY
Liberty. Oh Liberty. I always feel sorry for Liberty because it has those pokey windows and not a lot of real estate to play with in comparison to say Harrods or Selfridges or Harvey Nics. But I think this is where it could lean (for fuck sake with that expression but it works) into that…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS – RALPH LAUREN
This is not so much a window as it is a store front because brands, especially with their stand alone stores are often at a disadvantage somewhat because of the range of products to play with; as opposed to the department stores that can flex their muscle which is why I am always harder on…
