I mentioned the unveiling of the Eurovision window display last night in the department store NK. Well, I popped along last night to have a vada.
They’re crafted as a stylised interpretation of each iof Sweden’s six winners: ABBA as four platform boots; Loreen as sweeping long black hair. The Herreys have a rendering of their dance moves notated with golden footprints along with three more sets outside on the street for punters to stand on. But Carola’s is the best: three pedestal fans create a wind machine blowing her superfluous chiffon over her face and carrying her microphone off in the gust.
They’re absolutely charming. I can’t imagine Selfridges doing the same homage to Cheryl Baker’s skirt, somehow…
