London department store Harrods is Luxury Daily's 2013 Retailer of the Year for its exuberant in-store events, eclectic collaborations and its ever-present attitude on social media. Harrods won over runner's-up Net-A-Porter by demonstrating that the in-store environment is still essential and can be rescued with shrewd positioning, a unified digital presence and energized interactions with consumers. These retailers surpassed other contenders because of the vitality that courses through their many interfaces and by lifting the bar for mobile and ecommerce. The Luxury Retailer of the Year award was decided based on luxury retail marketing efforts with impeccable strategy, tactics, creative, execution and results. All candidates selected by the Luxury Daily editorial team and reader nominations had to have appeared in Luxury Daily coverage this year. Judging was based purely on merit. Department store chain Barneys New York was 2012 Luxury Retailer of the Year, with Net-A-Porter's Mr Porter as first runner's-up and Harrods as second runner's-up (see story). The boss of Harrods, the prestigious London department store, has warned that proposals by the Coalition to simplify visa applications for Chinese tourists are "smoke and mirrors". harrods "harrods london" goods london history store shopping "luxury shopping" restaurant employment jobs "food hall" "fresh food" ceo director "world famous" heritage retailer international china chinese thailand "middle east" qatar dubai investment 2013 2014 exclusive "made in england" sales sale name brand "london england" british "united kingdom" wealth rich posh wealth expensive "limited edition" "cash money wealth" tourism tourist gift gifts merchandise arab oil money tycoon cash millionaire billionaire latest tech poor poverty must have item harrods shopping bag copy fake original car parking sports car lamborghini ferrari maserati bugatti rolls royce gucci louis vuitton hermes channel UK retailers have pressed the Government to overhaul the Chinese visa system because of concerns that the UK is missing out on spending to other European countries. However, Michael Ward, the managing director of Harrods, said that measures unveiled by George Osborne, the Chancellor, during a trade mission to Beijing are likely to have little impact. Speaking at a breakfast for the chief executives of luxury brands organised by trade body Walpole, Mr Ward said the Chancellor's proposals were "smoke and mirrors" and would not help wealthy tourists travelling independently. Business leaders have warned that the UK is losing £1.2bn of sales each year because Chinese visitors are put off by the complex visa process. Tourists travelling to Europe from China must apply for a separate UK visa alongside the Schengen visa system, which is cheaper and allows Chinese tourists to visit more than 25 other countries in the EU including France. n August 2010, in a letter to the Daily Telegraph, chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed revealed that he had burnt Harrods royal warrants, after taking them down in 2000. Harrods had held the Royal warrants since 1910. The Duke of Edinburgh removed his warrant in January 2000,[17] the other warrants were removed from Harrods by Al-Fayed in December, pending their five yearly review. The Duke of Edinburgh had been banned from Harrods by Al-Fayed.[18] Film of the burning of the warrants in 2009 was shown in the final scene of Unlawful Killing a film funded by Al-Fayed and directed by Keith Allen he UK's second-biggest shop, Selfridges, Oxford Street, oxford street bond street
