Fashion Eyes: Top European Display Window Designs

Focused principally on Paris, the world capital of window shopping, Fashion Eyes portrays the best displays by the top shops on the high streets and fashion-centric byways. The survey is divided into four categories: The Grand Department Stores, such as Harrods, Selfridges, Printemps and Marks & Spencer; Fashion Designer Stores like Chanel, Dior, Colette, and Comme des Garçons; Designer Retrospectives by Christian Lacroix, Balenciaga, Jean Paul Gaultier and more; and finally Ready to Wear by Zara, H&M, Mango, Manoush and BCBG Max Azria. These window displays are conceptual masterpieces. The expert application of color, texture, composition and lighting make for museum-worthy pieces, but, alas, these precious vitrines are quickly replaced to accommodate the coming season's next big thing.
