From March 16 to April 14, Dior

celebrates British fashion by dressing

the windows and interior of Harrods,

all while revealing an exclusive,

“So British” capsule collection.

 

After setting up shop in the Paris department store,

Printemps Haussman over the 2012 winter holidays,

Dior has hopped the pond to take over the celebrated

Harrods department store in London. Seated between

humor and poetry, the couture brand’s latest capsule

collection perfectly combines French style with British classics.

 

For the partnership, Harrods is set to dress its windows

in iconic Christian Dior colors like grey and white, and

honor its heritage by decorating the store in the characteristic

mailboxes and vibrant red telephone booths that spot the streets

of London. Dior‘s British-themed line will be released in

exclusivity for Harrods, featuring a tartan clad Lady Dior bag

and Harrods bear, a snow globe and a pearl necklace that

draws inspiration from the royal pearls worn by the Queen.

To top off the French-English alliance, the Queen’s Royal

Beefeaters will post in front of the department store wearing

uniforms specially designed by Dior‘s creative director, Raf Simons.
