Guess: White Christmas

White Christmas might be the basic concept for this year's Guess Christmas display. Started from the background is the black and white giant posters of its advertising image. On the display, mannequins are standing and sitting on the white snowy environments made of white shiny fabric. Dried trees with white cottons that resemblance the snow are everywhere.

Chanel: Welcome to the planet Chanel

Chanel window display is always the 'imitation' of the runway decoration concept. Thus, the all-size-crystals planet that form the runway of Chanel Fall/Winter 2012 is now on the display. It is a very perfect, vivid, and detail reinterpretation of a concept that perhaps cannot be rivaled by other boutiques. No word to comment it except FABULOUS and EXCELLENCE

Gucci: Picture perfect

Gucci window display for Fall/Winter 2012 is like a giant photo frame. Inside this luxurious photo frame in metallic gold colors, there is a 'picture' of a glamorous couple ready for party. They are posing in front of the gold framed Gucci Fall/Winter 2012 campaign image. What a perfect picture of luxurious living and thankfully in modern non-logo way.

Gap Kids: Kite

Today is November 1, 2012 and it is now fall season in the four seasons country. Even like Indonesia which has only summer and rainy seasons, the sun is not everyday showing its light. However, Gap Kids window display has the summer mood look. There is a group of children playing and flying the kites with colorful ribbons. A very clear light blue sky looks so calm and peaceful behind them. What a relief actually to see this display.

Faux Furs

 Stradivarius - Senayan City

 Pull and Bear - Grand Indonesia

Back to nature or green living and many other environment-love activities are now emerging in all aspects of design industry, from interior and even fashion. One of the most hottest issue is about the use of animal skin and furs that has been creating many radical protest activities from PETA or other green organization. To overcome this problem, and also to reach broader customer, there is a solution about this 'hairy issue' that is the invention of the faux fur. It looks so real but of course almost impossible to have the same quality with the real one. This human-made fur has been being well-welcomed and embraced even buy some high-fashion brands such as Chanel for its Fall/Winter 2010 icy collection. Well, I do not want to talk about high-fashion now, but just want to show the example of fabulous collection done with the faux furs material from two high street brands Pull and Bear and Stradivarius. Enjoy.

Massimo Dutti: Expression

So long I do not write any posting about Massimo Dutti in Jakarta. The main reason is because the constant display arrangement that never change. Recently, I passed by this brand's store at Grand Indonesia and saw the different mannequin expression at the men section entrance. On the left, a male mannequin stands with, for me, rather awkward pose. The right window is occupied by a female mannequin with very attractive pose and styling. These two mannequins are like actor and actress on a movie studio. Look at the big board behind the male mannequin and also properties near the female one.

Gap: Blue jeans

Gap make a very commercial straight-to-the-point window display design in promoting one of this brand's best-seller, blue jeans. There are various cutting and design and shape for men, women, boys and girls, and even for children. Each of gender and age level is presented with creative and interesting outlook, not in a shallow way.

Alun - Alun Indonesia: rural village in Java

A big kite in the shape of flying bird are up in the sky. Below, little birds are playing on the dried twigs surrounded by wild grasses. On the falling-leaves-filled-ground, there are two wooden boxes with fruits inside as the symbol of nature's wealth. This description is my interpretation upon viewing the window display of Alun - Alun Indonesia. You can find this if you travel to a small village in Java island where civilization still not effects too much with nature. A rare view, though.

Chanel: Futuristic?

Plain boards, neon in circular or linear form, and tall boxes serve as table are the main background of the new Chanel window display for Fall 2012 season. These decorations create a modern feeling toward the whole appearance of the display. There are no fussy decorations compared to the last seasons' underworld and Indian concept.

Pull & Bear: Travelling with hot air balloon

The newest Pull and Bear window display might remind us with last year Louis Vuitton's that featured hot air balloon. Now, the balloons are flying on top of giant images of a river (may be Amazon). This image are so unique since it is actually a giant puzzle if you observe it from short distance. There are no special thing with the mannequin though.
