Their theme this Christmas is full of eastern promise, a trend that has remained in both fashion and interiors since The First Emperor's Terracotta Army exhibition at The British Museum back in 2008.
These windows take you on an extraordinary trip to the Orient. Sumptuous and opulent, the displays evoke a modern take on the 16th and 17th century opium dens. Beautifully hand-crafted props are framed by geometric Oriental screens; a gateway into this fantastical, exhilarating and enticing world.
Make sure you visit at night as this is when the display comes into it's own. Glowing splashes of fluorescent colours and luminous tinted metallics. Mannequins stand as both traditional Geishas and Harajuku teens, with doll-like makeup and chopstick speared rolls of hair on the women, striking eyeliner with statement Mohawks on the men. Surrounding them, every surface is richy embellished, sparkling and lit – a wonder-world grotto full of promise and intrigue.
