>> london windows: selfridges – october 2008
Posted by The Wardrobe Planner on October 13, 2008
I know it’s me, it must be just me, but I don’t really get the windows in Selfridges this month.
Don’t get me wrong: they’re as beautiful as ever.
But I just don’t get the theme. There’s armours, and warriors. There is also masks and trapezes. There are thick red velvet curtains and clever lighting. Shiny surfaces and wonderful constructivist garments. But it doesn’t quite make sense – undoubtedly only to my myopic eye. Where’s the bigger picture?
I guess I’m only being confused by too much bling and red together – it’s all too scarily close to the bling and red indigestion we are going to endure once more this Christmas. I’m dreading the ultimate force-feeding, and am trying to put it off until it’s totally inevitable, so this sort of aesthetic self-protection must be what is momentarily shielding my vision!

I don’t get them either but they sure are thought provoking and they do want to make you explore the store and I guess that’s what it’s all about. To spark our interest.
