Galeries Lafayette: Tropical

Summer is coming sooooo early at Galeries Lafayette Jakarta with a strong tropical theme on the window display

Galeries Lafayette: Play with Colors

Withing the count of days, Moslem people all over the world will celebrate their New Year including in Indonesia. All the shopping malls are now being decorated with Arabian themed or touch decorations and settings including Galeries Lafayette Jakarta. However, this Paris-based department store does not project the theme literally but in modern approach. Colorful panels with motif inspired by Middle Eastern culture are placed inside each window. Each mannequins inside the windows are wearing outfits with colors match to the color of the panel. Most of the outfits are Indonesian designer's work or brands such as Studio 133 by Biyan, or EdBe by Eddy Betty.

Galeries Lafayette: Welcome to Jakarta

Indonesia might be so proud to become the first country, and city-for Jakarta-, where Galeries Lafayette expands its wings in the Asia continent. This most famous French department store has opened its door since the month of May at Pacific Place, South Jakarta. It occupies four stories of the mall and carries complete range of products from beauty, men and women ready-to-wear, accessories, etc. Last night, I visited this dept. store for the first time and took photo of the window displays. Each floor and each entrance has their own window displays. Each of them tells the same story or concept that is about French style. Take an example of a window that features a female mannequin in very grace and elegance pose. It is standing on a small table next to a window, that has Opera Garnier room inside, and a stumble classic French chair. Next to it, another mannequin stands in, again, a table, next to, again, a window, that reveals a neighborhood in the corner of Paris with Eiffel Tower standing on a far, plus, again, a stumble chair. Hope, the upcoming window display will be more creative and has more variations to avoid boredom, at least for me.
