Lace it up...

Chanel takes the lace pattern of their pant bottoms, and uses them to create a simple pretty background for their windows. The use of the layers of the lace plexi adds a nice depth and the thin white tables keeps the light airy feel consistent. See the patterns...

Bohemian Christmas...

Beautiful flocked trees against white walls with gold trim at Chanel.  Great contrast of sculpted ornaments and black ribbons with the bright couture fashion. Love the mannequin styling with full curly hair and beaded head dresses. Deck the halls...

 

 

The mark of Chanel...

Chanel's windows for Holiday. Looking like a little chambre, a nice change for the season. I like the colored hair and of course the incredilbe styling.  The little "double C" on the cheek is a special detail...

Never forget...

On this day of September 11 in NYC, retail takes a moment to remember. Here is an assortment of the ads from the New York Times.  Macy's sums it up the best:

Hug your children,

spend the day with family

think of an old friend

wave to your neighbor

go for a long walk

light a candle

share your thoughts

take a moments for yourself

be there for someone else

watch the sunset

look forward to sunrise

Today, In your own way, remember and reflect. September 11, 2001

Rows of chairs...

Chanel creates a window in perfect timing for Fashion Week. Rows of chairs, a few mannequins and a plasma screen that doubles as a large handbag. Love all the layers of apparel, Fall is in the air. Save us a seat! 

Eastern Exotic...

Last month Dior took us to Russia. This time Chanel is taking us to India.  The beading on the frocks is incredible, and the display texture of the flooring with the print and pillow is perfect.  Perfect execution of the displays with bags, hats and footwear on the pillows. Namaste!

Tea party...

The Chanel windows are fun for Spring, but feel just a little crowded, and the mannequin laying on the chaise looks like she is going to roll off. I still like them though.

As white as pure snow...

Chanel... clean,, simple...holiday... love the paper trees. The Mq dressed in whites completes the theme.

Up up and away...

One of the best windows at Chanel I have seen in awhile. So airy and heavenly -- although it would be better placed in December as a holiday or January as a winter window --- but fashion arrives when fashion arrives
