These dinosaurs of 19th Century capitalism are going out of business. We don't need shops to sell us toasters, perfume, and frumpy fashions under one roof, or we only need a few of them, or sexier ones like Selfridges.
Dickins and Jones of Regent st, and Barkers of Kensington (house of fraser brothers), are closing down, sounds like a nursery rhyme. They offer 50% off, sometimes more sometimes less, inspiring a frenzy of consumers, apocalyptic in tone, the evacuation of Saigon, the last days of the Tsar etc, the end of capitalism. As things, and I use this word definitively for once, are sold out, sections are closed off in an ersatz cardboard and masking tape way, no more designers needed thanks very much.
