Dolce & Gabbana: Wheels

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2013 window display is about the giant wheels wrapped in colorful motifs, perhaps derived from Sicilian culture. Not a nice window setting for me but thank God there are some magnificent accessories exposed here. Just look at this feminine hand bag with a very amazing detail of Sicilian mosaic image of a saint or the dandy shoes with cross needle detail in the floral motif.

Louis Vuitton: Holiday gifts

 

Louis Vuitton ION Orchard, Singapore, starts the Christmas holiday season so early with its cute and cheerful window display. Do not expect those traditional Christmas-related-animals like reindeer or bear. This most well-known fashion brands use ducks - yes ugly looking duck, not swan - as the messengers of Christmas gifts.

Mannequins pose

 Prada

 

Ermenegildo Zegna

 Dior

One element that is impossible not to be associated with window display is the existence of the mannequins. There are many design, type, look, color of them and can be arranged to do certain poses just standing in the middle of the properties. Prada's mannequins are acting very femininely but still elegance. Zegna's male mannequins are 'trapped' in a mirrored cage or boxes yet they still look cool but somehow too metrosexual. Talking about the size, Dior use a very tiny mannequins, can be called a doll too actually, besides her life size mannequins as usual.

Pull and Bear: Fishes

Another window display that features fishes can be seen at Pull and Bear's. Neon are used to construct the fishes so that they look brighter under the dark atmosphere of the window. There are some aquarium bowls to make the imagery of water bubbles that happen under the sea.

Cartier: Luxury

In the five years I am working on my window display blogs, only one or two times I took the photo of Cartier window display from Jakarta boutiques. This happened because the window did not have improvement or special arrangement and also the products displayed are not interesting enough for me. It is the opposite when I travel to Singapore. Cartier boutiques there display what best in store, the most bling - bling product they have to attract tourists. If last year I took the photo from Cartier at Takahsimaya, last week I stopped by in front of Cartier at ION Orchard. There was one small window with panther, the most famous big cat family Cartier used, in golden color 'walking around' to guard the Panthere de Cartier jewelries collection in front of it. Those diamonds encrusted jewelries are so amazing in the design, appealing, and most important the accurate detail or shape of the panther head. There were also some necklaces and bracelet from the other window that attracted me, because diamonds are not only girl's best friend.
