Double Take

One of the reasons I immediately am drawn to this display is because I've never seen anything like it. I am a love of photography and I love how they used it here. They are clearly playing on the emotions of females, with old black and white, romatic pictures from the movies. They keep it classy and make you stop and look. It is interesting how they don't show you the full dress in any of these. They leave a little bit to the imagination which is almost more reason to go in and see for yourself what these beautiful dresses really look like. Once again simplicity is a winner here, with a plain white background and three solid colored dresses. 

Anthropologie Displays

Both of these photos were taken of different window displays of the popular Anthropologie stores. Anthropologie is pretty well known for their creative and visually appealing window displays. One of the aspects I think is the most effective about both of these is the flow across the space. The top photo uses flowers, while the bottom photo uses oragami birds, to float your eye across the space and take it to the focus of the display which is the clothing. They are both very light and feminine with the objects and colors used, and do well to complement the clothing on display. This is also another example in which simplicity is effective. There are only two elements, the floating objects and the clothing, yet that is all that is needed to catch your eye. 

Lacoste 80th Anniversary Window Display

This video is fun, because it shows a little bit of what goes into the making of window displays, especially one as large as this. For their 80th Anniversary Lacoste had 8 different displays going through the decades and dressing the mannequins accordingly. It is a simple idea, yet fun and effective. They also incorporated an interactive display in which, when a person walked by the tennis balls would move up and down, according to where the person was. It is reminiscent of some of the nike displays, in a previous post.
