Selfridges is a high-end
department store located across the UK. I was tasked to create 3
window displays for their London store as part of the 'Selfridges Celebrates'
season. This project is a vibrant 2D transformation of both their physical and
digital spaces. 'Selfridges Celebrates'
explores how to prepare for joyous moments, brought to life through uplifting
illustrations and installations.
Psychic Sisters
The illustration is vibrant and intricate, inspired by the mystical and spiritual themes of the Psychic Sisters store. Framed by ornate arches resembling a sacred space, the artwork creates a psychedelic, otherworldly feel. Each arch holds a tarot card, highlighting tarot reading as a key service. The foreground is filled with floral and geometric patterns intertwined with birds, butterflies, and vines, symbolising growth, transformation, and the interconnectedness of life, evoking the mysticism and wonder of the Psychic Sisters' services.
Brasserie of Light
Inspired by the Damien Hirst crystal Pegasus in the restaurant, my intention was that the outline of the Pegasus placed in the foreground would act as a window into an inviting restaurant scene behind. The illustration is heavily embellished with patterns seen throughout the actual restaurant in a sectioned display of varying perspective.
The Wedding Suite
The key imagery includes an altar centred between adorned shelving found in the store. A chandelier also hangs in the foreground above arranged wedding flowers. Vital to this illustration was the draped curtains being lifted, symbolic of new beginnings and the spectacle of the special day which the brand is centred around.
