Karl, Minnie, and the Christmas spirits.

I am a sucker for good packaging so it stands to reason that I also love a good Christmas window, and nobody does it quite like the Americans. I think we could make a little more effort in Sydney. To walk up Fifth Avenue in New York at Christmas time is really a visual treat, provided you don’t fall into the Bah Humbug camp. Last Christmas Printemps in Paris had fun with little Karl Lagerfelds.

This year Printemps has given the windows a New Look with Chanel and subtle little vitrines to kick off the festive season. Here are a couple of oldies but goodies from past windows in NYC…

Barney’s is getting in to the spirit with Minnie and crew with windows and a very cute video.
