Harrods: Ballgowns and Crowns

We can’t think of anything more luxuriously girly than the new window displays at Harrods’ – a timely commemoration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Inspired by the V&A’s ‘Ballgowns: British Glamour Since 1950’ exhibition, the windows house beautiful, specially-commissioned ballgown creations by Valentino, Roberto Cavalli, Nina Ricci and Erdem among others. There will also be crowns on show by the likes of De Beers and Tiffany & Co. Those with a few pennies in their gown/crown piggy bank have the opportunity to try and buy in a one-to-one consultation, by appointment only. We can but dream.
