Surveillance cameras. The one on 5th Ave. in NY is the same. In some of the windows, the bag are in a glass display, and on others, the glass is broken and shattered, pieces all over the floor and there is no bag at all, as if it were stolen! It's cute!

^it's actually one of the best window displays of LV! oh wait, for me, i think it's the best!

 

[kuli_trendy]

^ i agree with you, coz i thought "the eyes" (you know that big crystal that appears in LV store in fall winter 2007) is the best, until i saw the visual display of that surveillance camera. i was wondering the budget that they have to spent for the visual merchandising, coz every LV store in the world must have the same window display.

I know this isn't exactly what this thread was made for, but I really want to show this off...

I was bored and my internet was acting up yesterday, so I decided I'd play around with Google Sketchup for a little bit. I ended up designing Chanel Homme London, an imaginary boutique for a collection that right now only has enough pieces to fill one rack. I think my designs are pretty super-neat.

In an apparent nod to the once verdant edges of old London town, fashion accessories boutique Hermès has planted several silver birch trees around its flagship store on New Bond Street. Silver Forest #36 is a Christmas installation by architects DSDHA and Hermès’ Rebecca Cocks that references an early eighteenth century boundary that once marked the city from the surrounding forests, where the shop now stands.

18 silver trees have been erected on the pavements surrounding the Hermès store while a further 18 stand in the windows and in the ground floor of the shop.

And as if this wasn’t Christmassy enough – the sounds of birds and galloping horses can be discerned if passersby stop to peruse the work (Hermès originally started out in 1837 as a master harness and saddle maker, apparently).

A temporary shop designed by shoe designer Tracey Neuls to show her shoe designs has opened in London.
The exhibition, called Shop& Show, consists of shoes from Tracey’s ten-year archive as well as objects that have inspired her. The shoes are displayed hanging from the ceiling above recycled drawer units that are stacked on top of each other. The drawers are also arranged vertically and clamped together to create shelving.
The store is open from 10 February - 01 March 2009 at 1-5 Exhibition Road, Brompton, London, SW6 2HE.

Alberta Ferreti in L.A.

London architects Sybarite have completed the new Alberta Ferretti flagship store in Los Angeles, California, USA.
The architects designed magnetic hangers and shelving, which attach to lacquered steel panels and enable clothes to be easily moved around.The interior has a polished plaster ceiling and polished concrete floor. Space is divided by freestanding, elliptical, stainless-steel rails and perspex screens.

The following information is from Sybarite:
–
With the new concept for Alberta Ferretti, Sybarite have developed a language of lightness and transparency, grounded by a sophisticated yet simple palette of materials to form the perfect backdrop to this collection. The key design features of the new flagship store in Los Angeles are the flexibility of the bespoke display system, the disciplined continuity of the palette and the skillful use of lighting to create an atmosphere that is as sensual, airy and ethereal as the clothes themselves.Flexibility is achieved by a completely unique system of magnetic hangers and shelving which can be freely placed against lacquered steel panels. Composed of gloss lacquered fiberglass, these elegant full-bust hangers bring the clothes to life, showing them in their natural and volumetric form rather than limply two-dimensional. The freestanding elliptical rails are made from a new ‘black’ stainless steel, a technique developed especially for Alberta Ferretti. The ‘V’ profile of the rail disguises the hanger fixings and forms a crown under which the clothes appear to float freely.Scattered throughout the shop are Perspex screens inlaid with stainless steel to which more magnetic hangers can be affixed. Lacquered petals and mannequins appear to grow naturally out of the floor in elegant compositions, offering additional display flexibility.The choice of materials is restrained and deliberate. Quality speaks for itself and finishes repeat throughout, creating a harmonious backdrop of simplicity and continuity against which the luxury of the clothes can stand out. The hard surfaces of Perspex, steel, concrete, plaster and fiberglass are all polished or lacquered, the reflective properties enhanced.The bespoke stainless steel rails in smoky black anchor the design, balancing the softly layered greys of the remaining colour palette. Clean and crisp, the polished plaster ceiling is unobtrusive, as the trench lighting seems to disappear into it. Inlaid with circles of stainless steel, what could have been an indistinct expanse of polished concrete floor is broken up and given texture, without sacrificing simplicity.The design and palette are echoed in the exterior treatment, with a black stainless steel ribbon enveloping the façade, giving presence to a building that was previously a simple white box. This ribbon also forms the boundary of the carpark which in turn is paved with the same circle-embedded concrete as the interior.Lighting is used to optimum effect in this design. Bearing graceful stripes of mirrored steel, the Perspex screens are both transparent and reflective, casting interesting shadows, permitting the flow of light, and creating a mood at once surreal and understated, an effect enhanced by the reflectiveness of the surface finishes. Integral LED lights in the steel rails directs attention to the hanging garments, accentuating texture, and literally highlighting the beauty and sensuality of the Alberta Ferretti collection.

Beauty Salon, Ricort, Tokyo

Yet more from Japanese architects Isolation Unit: this is a beauty salon for Japanese brand Ricort in Tokyo.
Wooden chairs are positioned in front of tall mirrors leaning on walls and birch trunks, which puncture the interior of the salon from floor to ceiling.

Stockholm Design Week 09: Swedish design studio Hommin are exhibiting two designs in the Greenhouse at Stockholm Furniture Fair this week: a hanging rail for clothes and a lamp shade.

The clothes rail consists of a wire strung with balls, which enable clothes to hang from different heights.The lamp, called Starlight, has several layers which reflect light round the shade.

Necklace & clothes
A traditional clothes rack usually looks like a tube with all the clothes hanging horizontally. I feel like I can do something different and flexible. Therefore, I design a wire with balls from which clothes can be hung at different heights. So it looks like a big necklace attaches to surfaces. And it could also to be used to divide space such as in a shop. The design item is flexible and has other possibilities.
Starlight
Starlight is a lamp with multiple transparent layers and formed in saw-toothed structure. The layers reflect the light from bulb and spread it out making it looks like stars or the Milky Way. The effect can be changed using different kinds of light bulb. The saw-toothed structure can be made easily using a simple injection mould and the lamps can be piled up in order to reduce the transporting cost.

Carla Ferrer opens high-end concept store designed by Studio Arne Quinze in Nieuwpoort-Bad, Belgium.
Belgians be forewarned for a new addiction, as Ferrer, a new high-end fashion store designed by Studio Arne Quinze, just recently opened its doors to the public.
Owner of Ferrer, Carla Ferrer, is a well-known figure in the international fashion scene. Backing up on years of experience in the fashion industry and given her Southern European roots, opening Ferrer seemed only a logical next step in her career. ‘I want customers to discover their own style in my shop,’ as she puts it.
Chic, excellent in finish and sophisticated, and at the same time adventurous and experimental, the clothes and interior design of the 200 sq meters concept store breathe the same air. Oozing luxury but never plain, the wide open space is dotted with various little textile islands offering curious visitors a chance to explore in a more private way the thrilling collection of exclusive clothes
and accessoires on display - among them brands like Patrizia Pepe, Atos Lombardini, Liu Jo, See by Chloé, Tara Jarmon, Vandenvos, By Malène Birger, Filippa K, Designers Remix, Just in Case and Chris Janssens.Mysterious shining curtains, ornamented with little crystals knotted into the strands seclude these little fashion paradises from the rest of the space. The sparkling gems lure the shopper inside.
Studio Arne Quinze immediately was caught by the idea of creating contrasting elements, executed by the broad array of materials used, the visual tension between the comfortable, inviting ‘niches’ and the concrete open space in other parts of the store. Raw versus refined, chic and sober, clean and rich, soft and harsh, new and old, fabric and plastic: it seems like numerous tactile conversations
are going on simultaneously, without one predominating another, allowing the visitor to wander around and, led by the clothes, create his own language.
Special attention goes to the custom-made sculpted counters and walls, at no two spots having the exact same look – every time one visits, a new element pops out. With a pearl-glazed finish and tactile, irregular pattern they may capture the soul of Ferrer best: personal, individual, sophisticated, chic.
