WINDOW DISPLAYS

"If SAND were a colour, it would be deep velvety Venetian red, the Symbol of passion, beauty and timeless luxury".

   -A nice quote from the Sand shop in Copenhagen.

When I see window-displays that looks very random or messy, like today, here in Odense, I can´t help wondering what decorators are thinking. Either they don´t know how to do it or they just don´t care ? 

At the local Sand store for example I saw what would have been a nice ensemble. A clean white shirt with a nice "scarf"-skirt, but they didn´t bother to iron the shirt, that looked messy. I think it is pure carelessness of the staff.

A new store, Zizzy, for bigger sizes, displayed mannequins in clothes that makes you look even bigger. It looked like they just copied the general fashion and put it in bigger sizes.
They didn´t seem to know, that you don´t have to cover yourself up because you are big. It is about emphasizing your advantages and fitted clothes can do that, even for big sizes, if it´s well adjusted.

There are plenty of examples, so maybe I should blog more about shop displays in the future, to bring some focus on it

 For inspiration - Mulberry knows how to get attention!
