I mentioned the unveiling of the Eurovision window display last night at Stockholm’s department store NK. Well, I popped along to have a look.
They’re crafted as a stylised interpretation of each of 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…
