Harvey Nichols’ cutting edge Christmas window displays are always in the centre of Knightsbridge and much anticipated by visitors.

This year, the famous luxury retailer is celebrating director Tim Burton’s darkly-enchanting world by partnering with ‘The World of Tim Burton’ exhibition currently running at the Design Museum.

In the centre stage of the display, there are five exclusive sculptures borrowed from Tim Burton’s private collection.

The characters are from ‘The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories’ and the sculptures are eerie yet playful additions to the whimsical festive display.

The remaining windows transport you into a surreal universe with twisted shadowy trees, mannequins with branch-like headpieces, and Burton’s signature black-and-white motifs, all lit by red light.

Each window display tells a unique story while creating an eerie atmosphere reminiscent of Burton’s well-known movies, such as ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ and ‘Corpse Bride’.

The display is more than just a Christmas decoration. It’s an artistic collaboration that merges retail and animation artistry.

The unique display invites visitors – kids and adults alike – to loose themselves in a fantasy world where fashion meets art and fantasy.

Harvey Nichols reimagines Tim Burton’s iconic style through the lens of luxury while showcasing the season’s top-tier partywear.
