| Santa has arrived at Selfridges, arriving on an air plane! What else! A modern and happy Father Christmas. I first thought the idea of the Santa in the windows was a bit "odd". But the whole thing has grown on me. He is happy surrounded by less happy mannequins. He is human but they are not. As if the commercialism has gone to far! On the other hand the fashion side of the window displays are the best in London at the moment. They manage to grasp the new "glamour rock" feel that surrounds the high street. A bit like in the early 1970s when the young generation played with luxury, gender and what ever goes - or not...then it was a type of reaction. Perhaps that is what see now? A luxurious reaction to the crazy world we live in. And it is not all about money and branded goods. All the high street fashion shops are full of bling and metal shining products from candles to shoes, underwear and bags at reasonable prices. It´s a bling world out there. Surely a way of make everyday life a bit more glamorous! Whatever next? |
