Christmas window displays post 2 - luxury brands

Being a firm believer in retail therapy, I could not resist heading into town to clear my troubled head - I have a life changing decision to make - which i promise to share with you soon, my dear friends.

Day-dreaming through all my favourite luxury retail destinations, I was stopped in my tracks several times by the sheer creativity, quirky and imaginative Christmas window displays that line the streets of London this year. 

Featured here are some of my preferred schemes, unfortunately I could not take photos of them all - my arms were weighed down with shopping bags, of course!

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!

Darlings... 

I’m sure my two previous posts have left you feeling inspired and festive, but ‘three’ is the magic number so I simply must leave you with one final post on London’s best Christmas window displays.
Here are some of the high-street brands which caught my eye during my London retail round up.
Do not fret though my chums, it doesn’t finish here i'm whisking over to Heathrow as we speak for the next stop – New York! Stay tuned...

Christmas 2015 window displays part 1


Hunnies, the countdown to Christmas has begun, and what better way to kick off our annual Christmas window round-up, than with a spot of shopping and window gazing at London’s favourite luxury department store windows.  
 
Its ‘show time’ at Harrods, with windows replicating theatre scenes, but creating further magic and really stealing the show is a below the stage floor scene, filled with Christmas mice preparing for the performances.
 
The party season is in full swing at Harvey Nichols and ‘disco-glam’ comes to mind; Mirror balls, glitter and sequins.. how fabulous! And not forgetting the cleverly designed gigantic faces made from metallic gift boxes.

Selfridges dedicate their windows to each of the zodiac signs, set against an outer space backdrop.  The sophisticated theme is a personal favourite as each window filled me with anticipation for the next.  To shop for your zodiac and to view all the star sign windows you can visit the Selfridges website. Naturally my window is ‘wild at heart’ what is yours?
Liberty is the ‘home of Christmas’ this year with a recreation of a traditional dolls house and in true Liberty style, an eclectic mix of luxurious gifts, prints and sets fill the windows.
Must dash off now my darlings, but stay tuned for the next installment of London's best Christmas windows…
