HARRODS AND DOLCE&GABBANA 2017 CHRISTMAS WINDOWS

This year Harrods and Dolce&Gabbana join forces to celebrate the 2017 festive season 

An unparalleled partnership: from November 2nd to December 28th a traditional and festive Italian atmosphere will be the main focus of the world’s most famous department store. The windows on Brompton Road & Hans Crescent take inspiration from the Sicilian puppet theatre, whose protagonists are two very special guests in the form of marionettes: Domenico Dolce and Stefano
Gabbana.

The two charming puppets recount the world of Dolce&Gabbana and all the inspirations that animate it and will feature displays to fit the following themes; Perfumery & Cosmetics, Let’s Party, The Family, Traditions, DG Millennials, The Italian Kitchen, Eyewear, Watchmaking, Men’s Tailoring, Italian Beauty, Teatro Alla Scala of Milan, The Future, Women’s Tailoring and Harrods’ Exclusive Accessories.

Harrods Chief Merchant, Helen David says “Domenico and Stefano take us through their festive Italian Christmas via the exciting window displays that they have created for Harrods which will see them DJ into the Christmas season amongst disco balls and dancing, opening piles of gifts under a festooned tree,
enjoying gastronomous Italian delights, and discovering all of the amazing unique product that they have created for Harrods through our customers’ eyes. Our windows this Christmas will be alight with tradition, the love of family, and an all-around celebration of this special time of year with a hefty dose of
fun and Italian spirit”

"We brought the best of the festive Italian spirit to London done in our way. The Harrods windows have big curtains like a theatre where inside you can enjoy our lifes, our passions and our love for fashion and life. We hope that kids from all around the world will dream looking at the puppets we created for them!" Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana say of the Harrods Christmas
