Red again...

Keeping with a reoccurring holiday theme, Banana Republic once again using red background a repetition of props for their Holiday windows.  I do like the large lighted signage, but the boxes of ornaments with graphic and mannequins is starting to feel tired... even when it is new.



 

Hoilday squares...

Simple window from Cole Haan.  Basically display cubes with a mirror.  The lighted star background on the side is a nice add-on making this window feel a lot more Holiday-ish than most...
 

Box it up...

Never a fan of Fendi holiday, this year the signature buckle is used in boxes in the window. I do not really understand what they are trying to achieve: display shelves? artwork? branding?  what ever it is, the handbags leaning off the square it not a premium representation of their brand. The side window with the pedestals with the gold buckle bases look like something was melted down. Buckle down, buckle down...



 

I'll be home soon...

Tiffany's does it again with perfect miniatures to showcase the beauty of their jewelry.  This time we have windows with miniature areas of the home.  A ring placed here, a pair of earnings there - this is so classic Tiffany's.  My favorite is the front door with the little blue box outside  of the door. I'll be home from Christmas...







 
 

Make a wish...

The Make a Wish or Lucky  themed windows from Louis Vuitton.  A window of wishbones and four leaf clovers... not really something I think about for the Holidays.  While the execution is flawless and premium, not one of my favorite windows LV.  The train station window from the month before felt more Holiday. That I've overlooked before...

Cut and sew..

Adorable window from Levi's.  I like the cloth form wearing the apron "measuring"  for the Made to Order jeans. The animated neon scissors is a great detail.  I also like the entry display in the store for 501. Great balance with the lighted sign, the form, the hanging vintage lights  and the merchandising of the product. Order ready..!

 

Be a part of it: New York, New York...

My favorite window of the season. Incredible windows at Macy's Herald Square telling the history in NYC.  The Magic of the City...explores each decade through a part of the city through he eyes of Macy's: the fashion, Holiday Lane, Thanksgiving Parade, the wooden escalators, Miracle of 34th Street, Santa inside Macy's.  I love the storytelling, the displays and the text on the glass to explain. A window of letters to Santa that benefits Make-a-Wish and a window window with B/W vintage footage! A Miracle indeed!...

















 

Angels we have heard on high...

Victoria Secret's 34th Street flagship window.  Taking the window farther just just a lightbox graphic.  The 3D feathered angle wings are nice, although the pink garland is interesting... Echoing their sweet refrains?...


 

Shoe tree...

Nothing like a holiday window with a tree in it: especially when it is created with the footwear with famous red sole.  Christian Louboutin creates a window of snowflakes and a tree showcasing rhinestone encrusted soles and heels. Love this window. Brilliant creative tree use, especially the gold pump as the star. Sparkly!!!
