Harvey Nichols Hearts Wallace and Gromit

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.
