Snow bumble ....

An adorable or an " abominable" snowman at Dolce and Gabbana, peferct to end winter with. Perfectly overly large to the space, and to the female mannequin he holds.  Love how she is holding her heels and her handbag by his feet - with perfect product placement.  No cold shoulder here ....

 

 

 

At a snails pace...

A fun Spring window from St John.  Love the great neon snail and dragonfly. although cute, I do not understand the pink giraffe. I love the contrast with the zig zag floor pattern.  Amazing production quality from the display flowers made from paper. The neon garden ....

 

 

Billy Goat Gruff...

Bright and bold Lunar New Year window from Saks Fifth Avenue. Using a theme of the celebration, large Chinese Dragons circle the mannequins while a lot of maneki-nekos wave at us looking at them.  Just a fun window for the New Year. Wishing you prosperity on the Year of the Ram...

 

 

 

Love me, love me...

Banana Republic creates a Valentine's window that I am not loving.  Nice in thought with pink post-it notes to fill a chalk heart outline, but I hate all the saying on the notes - assuming of what "we love". The mannequins are just dropped in the window on each side. Wish there was more asymmetry, of course, it is about "love" so the pairs of mannequins makes sense, but I would have liked a platform to give some depth and maybe two sets on one side and a pair on the other. The beige color story is boring. It does not need to be red, but some color would help give warmth and love to this window. Breaking my heart ...

 

 

Hit me with your best shot...

I love this clever window from Moncler that steps out of the " ring". A fun take on a boxing ring, while the mannequins were not completely build for boxing, all the details: the ring; the boxing shorts; the punching bag; the towel; the referee make this fun and exciting. Look how the background mirrors give a great reflection for the whole gym look.  Down for the count...!

 

 

Circles in the square ...

Beautiful window from Gucci for the Lunar New Year.   From side to side, top to bottom the windows are filled with disks painted with Asian inspired artwork. I love the use of solid featureless mannequins allowing the apparel to pop away from the backdrop.  Disk drive...

 

 

Heart of gold...

Dolce and Gabbana creates an over the top amazing valentine window.  Large mirrored jewel encrusted hearts in silver for men and gold for women's are perfect for the scale of the multi storied windows.  The red velvet drape add the depth as well as the multi sized hearts above the simple display of dress forms. Clean and simple. Not any hearts of glass...
