SPOTLIGHT ON HARVEY NICHOLS
Harvey Nichols, founded in 1813, is an upmarket department store with its origins in London (although you might know it as Harvey Nicks from Absolutely Fabulous, since Edina and Patsy were regulars there). The company started out as a linen shop, but now sells many international brands of clothing for women and men, beauty products, furniture and other household goods, wine and food. When Harvey Nichols were looking for a solution to their product photography needs, they chose Charles Ward to assist them.
