Michael Jackson's Statue

This glove belongs to Michael Jackson's Statue. The sculpture is 2.3 metres high and it is made of resin and plaster.

Mohamed Al Fayed, who was a friend of the artist, commissioned the figure after Michael's death with the idea of placing it in Harrods. But in 2010, Al Fayed sold the iconic department store to Qatar Holdings for £1.5bn. The Qatari family refused to install the statue in their mall, so Michael Jackson sculpture was finally placed outside Craven Cottage, the Fulham Football Club stadium, on the 3rd of April, 2011.

The acceptation of the statue was very negative but the truth is that, as time went by, it was accepted as an important part of Craven Cottage.

Harrods

The 30th President of the United States Calvin Coolidge said that "Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas". But he forgot one thing, because Christmas is a time to spend money.

If you didn't finish your Christmas shopping yet, you are in time to visit one of the London's Big Five department stores: Liberty, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason and, of course, Harrods.

And if, like most of the population, you don't have budget to shop in these stores, you can also enjoy the awesome windows that all of them have prepared for this special holidays.

Last year, Harrods Christmas set was inspired by the classic British steam train. On 2014, this emblematic store "celebrates Christmas with The Land Of Make Believe, a fantasy winter tale where magical mice arrive at Harrods to help Father Christmas transform the store ready for the festive season..." Designers like Zuhair Murad, Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen have worked for the store this season.
