Windows We LOVE
With
December fast approaching, we’re all looking forward to the moment when
our favorite shops unveil this year’s fabulously festive window
displays. Here we have gathered the creme-de-la-crème of visual
merchandising; shop windows at their very best.

Self ridges, Project Ocean campaign, London 2013
Jonathan
Latiano’s 2009 sculpture ‘Troubled Seas’ was displayed in Selfridges’
window to promote their Project Ocean campaign. It sat alongside the
words, ‘In 2012 only 7 people were killed by sharks. That makes them
more deadly than champagne corks. Every year, humans kill over 100
million sharks.’
Dolce and Gabbana, Milan 2011
Moschino, Los Angeles 2015
Moschino, London 2011
Chanel, Christmas, Paris 2011
Harrods, Chinese New Year, London 2013
Bergorf Goodman, New York 2010
Acclaimed
window dresser David Hoey has been creating displays for 5th Avenue
department store Begdorf Goodman since 1996. These are some of the most
elaborate displays in the world, so much so that $550 will buy you a
copy of the ‘Windows at Bergdorf Goodman’ coffee-table book.

This
collaborative widow display appeared in MBMJ after Muscleman Marc
joined Cartman’s toy collection. The small, muscular doll is modeled
after the fashion designer with whom he shares his name, having been
added to the series when the writers learned that Jacobs had tattoos of
two of Cartman’s other toys - Rumpertumskin and Clyde Frog.
Barney’s, 60 Years of Chloe, New York 2013

Bonwit Teller, per formative installation by Salvador Dali, New York 1939
During
this performance, Dali smashed his way through the glass of Bonwitt
Teller’s window. Although onlookers assumed this had been intentional,
it was later revealed to have been an accident.
Prada Marfa, Texas 2005
Permanently
installed sculpture ‘Prada Marfa’ by artists Elmgreen and Dragset, is
situated 42km north-west of Marfa, Texas. The window features pieces
from the fall/winter 2005 collection, handpicked by Miucca Prada
herself.
