Harvey Nichols Hearts Wallace and Gromit

Aug 25, 2008 @ 1:29pm

lady campunla.jpgHarvey Nichols just got a little cuter. The departments stores eschewed Darias, Sashas and Aggys, in favor of some very cute and quirky celebs - made of plasticine, naturally.

The new campaign features Wallace, Gromit and even Lady Campanula Tottingham decked out in designer duds - they look pretty awesome. Sure, Lady Tottingham could stand to get her teeth fixed and Wallace might want to reconsider the glasses-perched-on-bald-head look, but over all the clay trio looks quite chic.

Who knew that Alexander McQueen could look so good on a plasticine body? (Well, Britt knew of course).

Maybe this could lead to a whole new career for the clay made cartoons - we could totally see Juergen Teller shooting Lady Campanula Tottington in some Viv Westwood ads. And wouldn't Wallace look adorable posing in a pair of Calvins? Watch out Beckham.

If possible, this has made me about 10 million times more excited for Harvey Nicks (and all the other shops of course!) opening up in Bristol next month.
Where's Shawn though?!

...I've always been a little freaked out of Wallace and Gromit. :( I'll never forget that mad penguin.
