This isn’t by any means my favourite Selfridges display but I couldn’t help but stop and take these photos as a treat for the redheads who expressed disconcerting anxieties over their lovely rouge locks when I posted about Androgyny’s redhead issue. It’s even more specifically aimed at Flying Saucer, who regularly laments about being teased for being a redhead. At present I’m actually a little scared because her accounts of having her dress sense constantly taunted by fellow students in Manchester does leave me wondering what I will encounter as I make my first ever trip to Manchester this weekend (there’s an office joke that goes around that the only time Susie ever goes outside the M25 is to go abroad…. I can’t really deny it….).
Going back to the fiery redheads in shipwrecked attire here though, I do prefer Selfridges’ more conceptual, less ‘story-led’ displays but I do love their styling choices here, highlighting designers like of Felder Felder and Bora Aksu.
Quite an eye catching display. I think red hair looks great – whats the big problem with it?
Every time I come to London I adore checking out the Selfridges windows. They put such heart and creativity into them. Love it!
what a lovely thing to do! this has made my day!!
i’m sure you’ll be hitting the fabulous parts of manchester, don’t go to fallowfield whatever you do! haha it’s also quite lucky that you’re coming when all the students go home for easter! don’t forget to check out the ¬£3 second hand store if you don’t mind a rummage, at the very end of oldham street near picadilly gardens
cool!!
Wow, loves it!!!! Red hair just *is* more dramatic and stands out really well against the palette.
I love how the long red hair is almost revered in the blogging world – it was certainly the bane of my life when I was younger/at school.
i have such a weakness for wayward nautical ropes! thanks for the pics.
I for one adore the shipwrecked redheads…they look like sirens. I would like to be them!
Manchester is not as bad as flying saucer makes out honestly! It’s just the student bit that flying saucer refers to, the other parts of Manchester are actually full of people in wonderful clothes and coming from Liverpool, I think that Manchester is far superior for looking at all the crazy dressers than liverpool!
Thanks for posting this. I’d never have had a chance to see it if you hadn’t. I love window displays and wonder about the creative processes people go through in making them. I really admire this talent.
you know i never say “no” to red hair
they always make the most beautiful window displays!
Respect for red heads!!!
