Miss Mannequin's Annual Christmas Window Review



Darlings, I am kicking off my annual Christmas window round up with my favourite London luxury department stores. Check out all the highlights below.

 

First up is Harrods, collaborating with Burberry, they have filled 29 windows with 'A Very British Fairy Tale'. This recounts the yuletide adventures of two children through imaginative and engaging displays.  

Next, we have Harvey Nichols who have gone against British tradition and opted for an Italian Christmas… style, beauty, food, drink and culture. Bellissimo!

‘Cuteness’ overload this year at John Lewis with woodland creatures hiding in burrows. The display coincides with the brands Christmas advert featuring Buster the dog and his trampolining urban wildlife animals.

Santa is up to all sorts of mischief at Selfridges this year. I am especially loving his fabulous sequin suit.

Fenwicks filled their windows with lovely Christmas treats, I spy a few things to add to my list!

Fortnum and Mason add charming unusual pairings this year with their campaign ‘Together We’re Merrier’. Indeed!

As an exclusive partnership with The Royal Ballet, Liberty has themed each window around a different scene from that well-loved Christmas ballet, the Nutcracker.

Stay tuned for my next post, which will be filled with further festive treats!

The magic of Christmas in Knightsbridge

As promised My Darlings, Miss M. has been out pounding the streets of London with her box brownie, taking images of all those fabulous Xmas windows.....so you don't have to! 

I discovered a land of make believe at Harrods; oversized toys embody the magic of Christmas and are brought to life by some of our favorite designers, including Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Zuhair Murad.

   

A few minutes walk and I am greeted by the brightest of displays at Harvey Nichols. Big poses, big hair and fierce make-up, mingle with an enchanted metallic forest populated with majestic woodland creatures. Passers by were captivated, drawn closer to the season's most desirable collections from the fashion houses of Lanvin, Erdem and Maison Martin Margiela.

If this has whet your appetite, then do keep an eye out for my next post, where I will have snaps to share of more creative Christmas windows!
