About Secrets of Selfridges

Two words are synonymous with Selfridges: luxury and London. However, Selfridges was the brainchild of an American, Harry Gordon Selfridge. The real, flamboyant Mr. Selfridge brought about a complete revolution in the way Londoners shopped, introducing a new American retail model that made shopping less a practical pursuit and more of a luxurious adventure.
