Banana Republic: Office library

Banana Republic is a brand that synonymous with work wear alias office outfits. For Fall 2012 season, office scene becomes the main subject both for the advertisement images and also for the window display. Check out this Banana Republic store at Senayan City. Its spacious window display is already turned into an busy office library with stacks of grey-covered books scattered everywhere. There is also a window pane with Empire State building and its sky-crappers neighborhood around it that make the display looks more real like an office inside a tall building.

Banana Republic: Sale

All the glass window of Banana Republic store looked frosted and not see through. The only things can be seen are the words that spelled 'SALE UP TO 60%'. Very simple idea to promote the sale yet very attractive.

Banana Republic: Beautiful wallpaper

White and bright China blue colored wallpapers become the main attention when we look at Banana Repbulic window display for Summer 2012 season. The motifs and the patterns suggest a 50's style that match with the poster images of Coco Rocha and David Gandy posing like a two stylish socialites of that era. Unfortunately, the outfits shown on the mannequins are not as good as on the poster.

Banana Republic: Animal prints

Banana Republic window display is covered with animal prints motifs, the zebra's black and white stripes and the giraffe' brown square shape skin. The animals are also there on the display. The giraffe with its long neck are posing along together with the mannequins who are wearing too-glamorous-safari look. The zebra, it's the little one, are hiding behind a mannequin. Perhaps too shy to be observed by onlookers.

Banana Republic: Red door

There is a red door at the recent Banana Republic window display. Is it just the identical color of Christmas or is there any relation with Elizabeth Arden, a cosmetic brand that has red door as its iconic object?

Sparkling Snows

Senayan City

As December is coming closer, many stores and boutiques are starting to decorate their shop with Christmas theme. This year Banana Republic presents sparkling snows instead of usual faux-snow made with stereo foam. This sparkling little snow is made of little bulbs that usually decorate Christmas tree. Beautiful and a little bit magical.

MACHO

This weeek I read an article in DAMAN magazine about an ex late-90s-supermodel who love 'manimal', the combination between man animal a.k.a. man with chest hair. She said in the article that nowadays the world full of pretty guys in make up. This is a reality today with every major fashion houses provide men with fashion and accesories. However, only a few brands remain masculine their macho customer, while the others offer the opposite one for the opposite men customer too.
Alas, I do not want to talk about macho or feminine men. Here are some examples of the macho style displays that no need to show chest hair. The black color of furniture, sharp and square cut, simple detail, and the gesture of the mannequins sharpen the manly atmosphere.
