Retail Art Review – Winter Windows London 09 – 2010

Anthropologie Winter 09

Anthropologie's Christmas 2009 window in London was definately a treat.

A carefully crafted scene with handmade animals, finished with rolled paper fur. The natural tree trunks and branches and plenty of snowy logs, transport us to a fairy tale haven and tempt us further into the store.

Liberty Winter 09 Window

Liberty's windows were wonderful and continue the theatrical theme. The windows feature pantomime ugly sisters beautifully created in bright festive colours.

We also liked the traditional vintage British royalty window packed with royal memorabilia, reminding us of the Christmas Day Queen's speech.

Witty windows showing an average British dinner table and sitting room harking back to the 1950's complete the nostalgic ensemble.

Selfridges Christmas 09 Window

Selfridges lead the theatrical window parade with several stunnning pantomime inspired windows.

These windows really want to make you see what delights are to be found inside. They are fabulously over the top and work really well with the spirited Vivienne Westwood fashion collection dramatically incorporated within the displays.

Zara Winter 09-10 London Window

Zara certainly exceeded expectations with this futuristic twist on the theatrical theme with their Christmas 09 window. Silver foil, fluorescent lights and vamped performers evoke wild festivities and entice you into the store to find the edgy fashion within.
