For All Mankind Winter Window 2010

The For All Mankind store's window reminds us of 'whistful blustery woods' where the clothes seem to emerge through the 'wintery forest'.

This window is formed of adhesive strips of vinyl applied to the windows in solid white images. A tree branch hung high within the window beside the dressed manequins completes the scene.

Fossil Christmas 09 Window

This vintage typewriter, from a window by Fossil watches proclaims; "we wish you good times" on a long paper scroll. A great play on words with watches, time and holiday wishes. The window at Fossil is given glamour with the shiny red baubles. This is a small window but certainly an elegant and original seasonal display.

First Microsoft Store Phoenix

Opening day at the first ever Microsoft store and we are greeted to contemporary, minimalistic, slick and spacious. There are tall desks with high stools showcasing the computers and laptops and encouraging customer interaction. The open fronted entrance blends the shop to the mall environment effortlessly. The logo is already recognised internationally.

This smart and sleek store has a familiar feel to its competitor Apple.
