Throughout Spring, the Oxford Street überstore will feature live window displays from Dutch performance artist Cees Krijnen, as well as an installation by Dazed and Confused photographer Rankin. Increasing the artistic ratio, there will also be performances from The Random Dance Company and the Tattooed Leu family, giving it the appeal of a Victorian sideshow.

In keeping with the performance theme, Leigh Bowery's wife, Alex Binnie of 'Into You', will be on hand to etch your skin in designer tattoos. You could even cover yourself in inky Burberry checks so you never have to wear clothes again. Saying that, you'd never have reason to shop at Selfridges either, so that's a daft idea.

Elsewhere - moving on from her TV role as carrot-topped Cockney couturier - Patsy Palmer will be launching her It Is cosmetics range along with partner Charlotte Cutler (sister of Fran), and there'll be more exposed flesh with the 'naked spin' body painting from MAC.

Just don't get too excited and keep it clean!
