Walking on Oxford street this morning, I could not resist the Slefridges' christmas windows. They are stunning as always.
For 2014, Christmas at Selfridges celebrates the art of storytelling and the power of enchantment. Each window evokes a surreal fairytale or children’s storybook classic, each with a unique Selfridges twist, of course. From Rapunzel’s cascading pink dip-dyed hair, to the not-so-ugly duckling in an exclusive AF Vandevorst feathered dress, this is a high-fashion fairytale affair.
The rhyming lines on each window give you a hint in case you have not recognised the fable the window represents.
On the canopy, the two-tonne installation bears the title ‘Destination Christmas’, establishing Selfridges as the ultimate one-stop shop for your every festive need.

Oxford street-en sétálva ma reggel nem tudtam ellenállni a Selfridges kirakatainak. Lenyūgözõek, mint mindig.
2014-ben a Karácsony a Selfridges-ben keretein belül a mesemondás mūvészetét és a varázslat erejét ünneplik. Minden egyes kirakat egy szürreális tündérmesét vagy klasszikus mesét idéz.
If you are in London, I recommend you to walk to Oxford street and stop by the windows at Selfridges to explore a world of wonder, enchantment and imagination. If you are not here to experience it personally, you can just read my post, and check out the pictures I have taken, I guarantee you will get into the Christmas spirit.
It is worth to pay attention to the details as each window is full of hidden luxury goods.
Enjoy!
