Publisher's Synopsis
The extravagantly opulent windows of Fortnum & Mason are almost as much of an attraction as its products. Tourists and shoppers gaze at the windows not only to sample the wares, but also to lose themselves in the myths and legends portrayed behind glittering glass. Christopher Blackwell, the Display Director, has spent over 15 years devising these images and, for the first time, describes the inspiration and creative process behind his work together with anecdotes from the physical installation. The windows here are divided into the four seasons as they are in the shop and each has a story to tell, making this book a must for the devotees of this classically English shop and for those interested in the theatrical art of window display.
