WONDERFULLY WOW WINDOW ESCAPES 2012

Good evening lovelies! It looks we all survived the Apocalypse... phew! My favourite past time of mine as you know is oogling stunning Christmas Window Displays, these are just a few around the globe that stood out. I must say, it has been so cold and wet lately that I didn't get round to taking all of the images myself, but anyhoos I loved seeing all the creativity & design. Enjoy!

 

I just love Bergdorf Goodmans Windows every year and this year is no exception, just stunning - the execution is just mind-blowing!

Christian Louboutins Christmas Windows were just a bit genius if you ask me (designed & created by Studio Xag), their infamous Pigalle heels were cleverly presented as a rotating Christmas Tree display, complete with Diamente studded peep-toe version sitting on top of the tree surrounded by triple mirrors for extra oomph.

 Marmite Christmas lights on Oxford street, the photo changes all the time, how much fun?

Selfridges Christmas Windows 2012, each window surrounded with a shrubbery frame and fairy lights. So much attention to detail went into making Selfridges windows this year, although I have to admit, I loved previous years windows much more.

 Louis Vuitton's Bond Streets bold, colourful display

 Harvey Nichols always has such breath-taking windows, so glam with a hint of the East.

I love how such a striking window display can entice you immediately.

 

Carnaby Street, London

Wonderfully Wow Window Escapes 2011 Part 1

Well helloooo!

As some of you already know, I am always transfixed by stunning visual merchandising for any store. I got incredibly snap happy whilst back in London and utterly distracted by what stores had to offer, for drawing us punters in for Christmas gifting and shopping.
I also snagged the video for the making of the Selfridges, London Christmas Window display 2011! It's seriously mind blowing to see how it's all done!
Here's part 1, enjoy!

Loving the Circus them running thoughout the LV stores world-wide!

FORTNUM & MASON, LONDON

Absolutely in love with Fortnum & Mason London theatrical & stunning "Moulin Rouge style" windows featuring Showgirls galore! More info behind their Christmas windows here.

SELFRIDGES, LONDON

Selfridges windows were wonderfully white, I would have loved to have seen more colour, but the details in each of the windows were fantastic.

See how the Christmas windows were set up in the short video below!

As I storm troopered it down Oxford Street, it had started to get pretty dark and the stunning Christmas lights came on. I love what Boots have done! Very Light fantastic and festive!

Wonderfully Wow Window Escapes

I love how department store windows are transformed for Christmas, they never fail to amaze me with their super wow and diverse statement design concepts. The magic of the festive season is usually kept alive with the odd reindeer, Santa, baubles or angels within the window displays, but it's the details and creativity that go into these displays that make the windows really show-stopping. Here are just some of my faves!

An amazing & short 'lil video to show you how windows are made by the pro's at Bergdorfs! I was also struck by how awesome the song in the background was by Audrianna Cole - what a voice.

Harvey Nichols, London

I love this giant bauble with exploding mini baubles!

This is one department store, which I always admire for their spectacular & innovative window displays. Even the mannequins are wearing make up and are gemmed up! Harvey Nichols' double mannequin=butterfly effect is visually stunning.

Liberty, London

Harrods, London

I'm really loving the Peter Pan inspiration!
