West End girls give festive touch
Department store Fortnum and Mason has unveiled its Christmas window decorations, with not a bauble in sight.
Paul Symes, creative director at the 300-year-old London store, said the display was inspired by the 1980s Pet Shop Boys video for “What Have I Done to Deserve This?”
He added: “We’ve been very careful to stay on the glamorous side and not stray into anything seedy.”
Pet Shop Boys are pleased to announce that they will be headlining Magdalena en Vivo Festival in Santander, Spain on Saturday, 25th July.
