McQ: Wild birds

The only McQ Alexander McQueen boutique in South East Asia is located at Starhill Gallery, the most luxurious mall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This nice but small boutique has a very simple window display concept that is wild birds. It may sounds complicated but in reality it is not that fuzzy. The main properties used here are not the mannequins or the dried death birds but the stickers of birds and dried tries. These stickers are describing the flying birds in the wilderness vividly.

Dior: Frozen

Can you imagine what will a Dior boutique looks like if it is opened in the Arctic or Antartic? It perhaps will have boutique walls that are made from ice blocks or furniture made of ice too. This imagination is now can be seen in the Christmas window display of this French legendary brand. Excellent creative skills, accuracy, and detail in every little thing on this display make it looks so vivid, as if real ice is needed to build the display.

Louis Vuitton: The walls could talk

 Starhill Gallery

 Suria KLCC

 The Gardens Mall

Louis Vuitton might have its global design for window display, but I just know that this brand has specific design of exterior wall for every boutique. There are three grand Louis Vuitton boutiques in Kuala Lumpur. The first boutique is at Suria KLCC that has its iconic Damier motif as the exterior wall. Starhill Gallery's crystal-shape-like building is completed perfectly with the Louis Vuitton boutique in outer end side. The facade exterior is featuring round motif that can be found in the classic monogram motif of this legendary French brand. The last addition of LV at Kuala Lumpur is at the relatively new luxury shopping mall called The Gardens Mall. Simplicity is the only word I can tell when look at this boutique. There is no nerve-breaking graphic effect that form the wall motif. It is replaced with the classic monogram logo in more subtle but still beautifully crafted.
