Paris Christmas Windows go futuristic with Lanvin and Le Bon Marche

December 24, 2009

Lanvin Paris Christmas windows

Retail Remedy: Have yourself a very modern Christmas full of simple and clean artistic references...

Both luxury retailer Lanvin Paris and luxury department store Le Bon Marche take an artistic turn for their Christmas windows.

I especially like the clever holiday windows at the Lanvin men's and women's shop that have a surreal post-modern art feel.

Very modern and dramatic mannequins are tipped to 45 degree angles as if windswept to the next party. Or, perhaps the literal feel of New Year's Day.

Do you know who we are?

Quirky Paris shop windows put the fun in shopping...

We all like to think we can recognize great fashion, but what about the iconic face behind the brand?

I was strolling around Paris the other day and saw these clever clothes hangers with illustrations of iconic French fashion designers in a shop window near St. Sulpice.

I can figure out who most of them are but there are a few that I am not sure of.

Manolo Blahnik Spring Preview 2010 & The World's Largest Shoe Department

November 13, 2009

Manolo Blahnik spring 2010 shoe collection at Maria Luisa

These shoes are so gorgeous, it's like shoe porn!!!!

If you know me, you would understand what a shoe freak I am, so this post was pure delight! I worked in Delman, the fancy ladies shoe salon at Bergdorf Goodman in NY back in the early 80's where gorgeous shoes were part of design.

If you don't know me, just ask Sharon and she can share some mutual shoe drool stories with you-- starting with the time that I found her the most incredible fuchsia, ankle wrap Charles Jourdan disco heels! On second thought, maybe you shouldn't ask...

To make all you shoe fanatics jealous, I had the distinct pleasure of attending two major shoe events in the same day- the Manolo Blahnik spring preview and the unveiling of the world's largest shoe department at Galeries Lafayette, Paris.
