My fascination with window displays isn’t limited to London. Passing by Bergdorf Goodman yesterday, I was hit by the multitude of coloured post-its. I could have just been inspired by the juicy colours alone and also the fact that post-its even come in such a variety of colours (I’m old fashioned…. I stick to yellow and yellow alone…). But then take a step back, and of course the post-its take the shape of very famous people insteed (I just about managed to recognise all of them and congratulated myself for not being a complete numpty….). To be honest, the clothes on the dummies aren’t inspiring but I really must look into the possiblity of creating a fabric post-it note dress which immediately sprung to mind after walking past this display.

2008-02-06 at 10:05 PMThey don’t mess around at Bergdorf’s when they do window displays. What a cool post, thank you!

2008-02-06 at 10:44 PMNo wonder I can’t find any of the helpful notes I’ve written to myself.

2008-02-07 at 4:58 AMI walked by that last week quickly and thought of Apartment Therapy’s post-it posts…but I didn’t realize they were actually strategically placed!

2008-02-07 at 11:45 AMThat is certainly one creative, beautiful and lovely window. Its so bright and artistic, it really catches the eye while making the viewer come in to take a closer look

2008-02-08 at 3:13 PMI’m glad I’m not the only one with the obsession. I shot them a few weeks ago when they first went up. Heck, my entire blog is dedicated to my obsession for store windows. Bergdorfs always has the most creative and the best. I don’t know how they do it weekly, it’s seriously amazing.

2008-02-11 at 5:04 AMheh, I took a photo of the exact same window display to post on my blog. never got around to it, though, cause moving is crap. I took a few other window displays too (did you see the Mondrian-style windows at Henri Bendel?)

2008-02-12 at 6:28 PMThis reminds me of some of the art displays you see inside the downtown Anthropologie. They often have really impressive, abstract work there, which is so unexpected for a chain store.

2009-12-28 at 12:10 PMVery clever windows! There is something obsessive about using a material such as post-it notes.
