The Daily Mail reports that Nick Park of Aardman Films was approached by Harvey Nichols because they wanted a worldwide icon from the Bristol area to promote the opening of the new Harvey Nichols Bristol store. Posters and magazine ads feature Wallace, Gromit and Lady Campanula Tottington sporting designer-wear from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, Ray-Ban Wayfarer, Duchamp, Christian Louboutin and Zagliani.

They couldn't find Banksy? :)
Would also be nice if Harvey Nichols started selling red ties, green tank tops and Wensleydale cheese... well, not if you have no idea about Wallace & Gromit.
Weirdly, their names sound like some Savile Row tailoring shop!
