EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment frozen in time, this print transports us back to the Woolworths Store in Holborn, London on the 13th of August 1980. At precisely 4:20 pm, an eerie stillness envelops the scene as not a single person can be seen within its walls. This haunting image tells a story of profound significance - it was taken shortly after Woolworths announced a drastic drop in profits. The once bustling department store now stands empty and devoid of life, echoing with whispers of uncertainty and change. The vibrant fashion displays that once adorned its shelves are now left untouched, their garments longing for human touch. It is as if time itself has paused to reflect upon the shifting tides of commerce and consumerism. Photographer Mike Maloney masterfully captures this poignant moment from our recent past, immortalizing it through his lens for generations to come. Through his artistry, we are given a glimpse into an era defined by its unique fashion sensibilities and retail culture. This evocative photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even institutions deeply ingrained within our society can falter under economic pressures. As we gaze upon this solitary snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but ponder the transient nature of success and how swiftly fortunes can change.
