Fortnum & Mason Windows for All Seasons by Christopher Blackwell

Fortnum & Mason Windows for All Seasons by Christopher Blackwell

The extravagantly opulent windows of Fortnum & Mason are almost as much of an attraction as its products. Tourists and shoppers gaze at the windows not only to sample the wares, but also to lose themselves in the myths and legends portrayed behind glittering glass. Christopher Blackwell, the Display Director, has spent over 15 years devising these images and, for the first time, describes the inspiration and creative process behind his work together with anecdotes from the physical installation. The windows here are divided into the four seasons as they are in the shop and each has a story to tell, making this book a must for the devotees of this classically English shop and for those interested in the theatrical art of window display.

Christopher Blackwell has been the Display Director at Fortnum & Mason for over 15 years. He has won numerous prestigious awards for his work and in 1995 was awarded as life-time Honorary Associate Membership of the British Display Society. Sue Seddon is a writer and editor of lifestyle, design, travel and gardening books. Her latest book, Gardens with Atmosphere, co-written with Arne Maynard, was published in May 2001 by Conran Octopus.
