Madison Avenue: 2011 Holiday Windows

Along Madison Avenue there are many high-end luxury labels.  But only a few have creative window displays for the holidays. For those that do, it seems this year rely on the strong saturated hues of red to bring in the holiday spirit.

The window at Lanvin makes the chic party dress central focus

At Donna Karan, it's all about the winter wonderland - with a few small pops of red.

Prada covered their windows in beautiful velvets making a point to show off their new jewelry line. 

At Dolce & Gabbana they constructed a large open market cart. 

And Alice & Olivia brought in a pop of red as well. 

Anthropologie: 2011 Holiday Windows

Anthropologie has created this niche for itself in the window display world where it uses everyday and usually inexpensive objects to create beautiful displays.  This year is no different as the materials are tape, plastic strips as streamers, plastic FedEx envelopes, parachute fabric and other insulation materials. Using mostly white materials these windows have great a wintry feel about them.  They also used fans and a little motorized elements to create real movement within the windows.

Louis Vuitton: 2011 Holiday Windows

Louis Vuitton's playful harlequin windows are so fun and bright! Each year it seems like they try to use elephants in their holiday windows and this one is my favorite yet! The animals are incredibly sculpted and painted, such wonderful execution. Enjoy!
