Something I love about Christmas is the window displays. I know it's Xmas time when I start to see some displays. They are works of art. My favourite my far and as always, has to be Selfridges in London. This year's theme has been over a year in the making and takes inspiration from story telling. You wouldn't believe how excited I was when I first heard this. This year's scheme had been in development since November 2013 when the theme was decided on by the creative team. The world famous department store unveiled its legendary Christmas windows in October showcasing over a year's worth of hard work, creativity and festive thinking. Right from the first unveiling of the 23 windows it was clear that these were not your average bedtime stories.
A golden goose, 6000 metres of fairy lights and more than 190,000 baubles, you won't believe it until you see it.
One window consists od a neon pink mannequin dressed in a custom made Peter Pilotto cape stood before you surrounded by woodland animals adorned with an exclusive selection of Erickson Beamon jewellery. Little Red Riding Hood may not spring to mind but whether you recognise it or not the story has you captivated.
Other festive themed fables included the store's take on The Ugly Duckling. The centre mannequin who is sat within a rainbow nest and wears a bespoke feather dress from the SS15 AF Vandevorst, it seem anything other than ugly.
There windows are captivating, I have only seen pictures of this years displays so far but in over a week I get to see the real deal...so excited.
