Last year we squealed over the Harvey Nichols Christmas ad featuring toy dogs being matched to shoes and gift wrapped. This year Harvey Nichols Christmasifies the walk of shame, at its height come office party season.
Posted on the Harvey Nichols You Tube channel on the 3 December, the clip has already been viewed over 170,000 times.
There are few things that can be so shamelessly schadenfreudelicious. Witnessing a woman on her way home in the unforgiving light of the morning commute is one of them. On the assumption, of course, that she’s had a fun night. A little bit of glittery, mascara smeared joy amongst the rush hour suits.

The viral advert shows women walking bare foot, heels in hand across the road. Another young lady consumes a kebab, the ultimate party dress accessory, at a bus stop. Hems are pulled down and necklines yanked up. For me this vindicates my stance on charging for club cloakrooms, were they free to use these women could be sensibly clad.
Harvey Nichols has a solution for those wishing to avoid the walk of shame this season and it’s not ‘stay in’.
Might Harvey Nichols suggest wearing a dress from their winter collection to escape any notion of shame? The ad finished on an elegantly dishevelled woman in a high necked Harvey Nic’s dress nonchalantly greeting a postman as she opens her front door. Problem: SOLVED. Considering my New Look dress is ‘still good’ I shan’t be doing that. Besides, I have a better idea.
I propose come the closing hour (say, 2am?) Harvey Nichols employees take to the streets, distributing sensible wellington boots and cosy coats to those trudging home in unsuitable disco-wear. Surely that solves any walk of shame issues whilst maintaining the high end store’s Christmas message of self-involvement?
