Follow the path...

While I do enjoy the artsy value of the window at Theory, confused on a 3D display of footprint in the snow - when the mannequins are not even wearing footwear.  Also what does the bicycle have to do with anything ?   At least I would have liked to see a bike tread in the snow, or just lose the bike and have mannequins and the piece.  Lost the path ...

O, had I but followed the arts...

All always AMAZING windows from Bergdorf Goodman.  This year Holiday revolves around The Arts. The main windows: Literature, with the bold red fabric motif; Architecture of blue - just like blueprints; Theatre - with amazing neon; Painting - in white, just waiting for color to be added; Music with silver and mirrors, Dance with a creative touch with gears, Sculpture in crystal clear "ice" and Film with a great old fashion moving backdrop. Museum case windows of: Photography, Gastronomy, Cartography and Calligraphy.  Its always the details in these window to admire and enjoy. The joy of the arts...

Hit the slopes...

Fun window for Ralph Lauren Children.   Always those details here;  the stacks of accessories and giftboxes, the props - look at the dog -- the ice blocks looks fun and whimsy with out looking cheap - but the best thing is the layered outfits  - amazing layers of texture, fabrication and color. Lift ticket...?
 






 

Tarnished silver...

Hate Hate Hate this horribly executed window at J Crew.  So disappointing.  The silver disks are so tacky and looks like something at a drugstore vs the Crew. This is a disk drive-by...
 



 

Which way....?

Nothing to exciting at Kate Spade - nicely constructed arrow with lights - adding some New Year fun - although installed before Thanksgiving. Map it ...
