Hermes - May 2016: The frog

What I love about Hermes window display is that they have different concept and design in every country but always based on the brand's annual theme. The Gardens Mall, one of the Hermes boutiques in Malaysia, presents a serene concept of an fresh water pond where frogs, turtle, big Koi fish, etc, are all live peacefully. The right positioning of the props make the display look vivid and natural. Unfortunately, I could not take photo of all the windows since I told not to take photos of the window by a boutique staff - it was my first experience since other Hermes boutiques never forbid me.

Louis Vuitton: Hot air balloons, part 2

 Plaza Senayan

 Plaza Indonesia

The Gardens Mall - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Louis Vuitton hot air balloons window display is very uniform in the arrangement that it is almost impossible to find the distinct composition one another. In this post, I would like to share some of the window displays arrangement that look interesting instead of boring. One corner display at Louis Vuitton Plaza Senayan shows the mini hot air balloons surround a giant LV scarf featuring map of the world image. This scarf is the best properties that might indicate the traveling character of this brand. Louis Vuitton Plaza Indonesia always has mannequins on the window since it is carrying ready-to-wear collection. The women window has the same look as what I posted before, but the men one is so ordinary. My friend from Kuala Lumpur emailed me the Louis Vuitton The Gardens window display that has more hot air balloons compared to the displays I see in Jakarta. Hope, Louis Vuitton HQ VM will create more spectacular and not ordinary display next time.

DKNY Jeans: Balloons

It is two days already after the Christmas festivities, but we can still find the joy of holiday season everywhere. The example is this DKNY Jeans window display at The Gardens Mall, Kuala Lumpur. All the mannequins are carrying metallic color balloons with each balloon has letter shape of D, K, N, Y ,J, E, A, N, and S. The concept and the properties might be very simple, but it looks so special and festive.

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.

Kuala Lumpur Weekend Escape

Last week I had my first trip to Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. It was a short weekend escape full of walking around shopping malls, eating outs, and meeting friends there. KL has some great luxury malls with various branded boutiques and stores insight especially in the Bukit Bintang area which might become the tiny resemblance of Singapore's Orchard Road.

My first stop was at Pavilion with its beautiful fountain outside the main entrance has interesting arrange of high end boutiques gathered in the area called Couture Pavilion. Across this luxury mall, Starhill Gallery with its outstanding crystal facet exterior shape becomes the most luxurious shopping mall in KL with many high end jewelry and watches boutiques inside.

The last day of my trip was spent at The Gardens Mall, a relatively new luxury shopping destination. It is the younger sister of Mid Valley Mega Mall with might has smaller size of building but more luxurious and more comfortable for me.
