In the Window: Behind the Scenes

I hope that everyone is having a good week so far.  I know I can’t wait until tomorrow.  I finally have this weekend off, so I plan to relax and visit some of my family in Tampa, FL.  Well, I wanted to share this video that I found on the feast.com about my favorite store, Anthropologie.  As you may know, Anthropologie was founded in 1992 and since then many women continue to flock to the store to find whimsical dresses, ladylike shirts and eclectic accessories.   Anthropologie is also renown for the store’s amazing and creative window displays.  You can always find the best execution of a merchandising concept or visual “story” at any of their stores.  I continue to be impressed by the visual team’s unique handmade displays. Check out this video (here) to learn about some of Anthropologie’s talented visual artists and to learn how they create the store’s amazing windows.

In the Window: Anthropologie’s Spring 2011

The visual team at Anthropologie continues to amaze me every season.  I love to visit different Anthro stores to go shopping of course, but also to see the store layouts and visual displays.  Anthropologie has definitely hired the best of the best when it comes to the company’s visual displays.  The visual teams know how to think outside of the box, go beyond the window display and exceed the audience’s expectation. 

This Spring season the windows are colorful and whimsical and each silhouette exhibits a fusion of art and fashion.  This season, the windows are made up of clothespins, zippers, hangers and draped construction paper.  Each of these everyday items has been transformed to a point that you no longer see it for what it was, but it becomes something new and unexpected.  The creativity and craftsmanship that the visual teams exhibited on these projects are just spectacular.

Anthropologie’s window displays and store decor are always so creative and inspiring. I recently took pictures of a few displays in my local Anthropologie store that I wanted to share.

Here are some pictures from other stores around the country…courtesy of the Anthropologie Facebook page.  I thought my store’s display was pretty amazing, but all of these windows are equally stunning!
