S***R is ready for Valentine’s Day and LFW. The window at Number22 store was created by London-based artists Chrissie Abbott and Angela Won-Yin Mak, both of whom trained at the London College of Communication.

We asked them how they found the experience: ’we’ve talked a bit about collaborating but this is the first time we actually have! It was really enjoyable, and we would love to do it again,’ says Angela. We then talked about the brief and how they approached it: ‘Our brief was to decorate the window for London Fashion Week and Valentine’s Day. Wanting to side step all manner of red hearts and teddy bear tat, we started doodling and thinking about Serge Gainsbourg records, Art Deco/Nouveau typography and flowers and colours, old ornate birdcages, psychedelic band posters, etc. And the Bon Jovi lyrics were a twist on the generic schmaltzy romance theme.

So what does the future hold for the girls? They’d like to rule the world and dress a few more windows together. As for the shoes, they LOVE the red patent boots!
