Review of www.harveynichols.com (Nov 30 2004 13:57 GMT) - I am a previous occasional customer of Harvey Nichols in Leeds, and I do connect with the personality of the new site. As I said in my review, I think the scrappiness of the animation helps the site not be too glam. It's important for them to get some cheeky humour in there. I understand the point about the kinkiness of some of the content. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but then I don't think it's any less sexy or exploiting than general glamorous fashion advertising that you'll see in Cosmopolitan etc. |
