London Holiday Window Displays, 2011
Imagine Fashion
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011
NY, NY (Herald Square)
A creative director, based in London, who I used to work for forwarded me an e-blast today containing windows, one each from Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Swarovski and Harrods, and Liberty. The eblast was sent by Imagine Fashion (website here). At first, I was under the impression that they were the ones who created the windows, but after spending a bit of time rummaging around their website, my guess is that they didn’t. Very confusing. Their main focus seems to be -fashion film- . If anyone has information on these guys, I would love to hear it. They don’t have a wikipedia page, my be-all-end-all number-1 go-to spot for research.

I forgot about these. I shot these right before Thanksgiving. From the Esprit shop near Rockefeller Center. Which reminds me… I need to go photograph the tree.
Macy’s Holiday 2011 Window Displays
Yes, Virginia
Sunday, December 18th, 2011
NY, NY (Herald Square)
Macy’s has foregone their annual “Miracle on 34th St” windows. This year, the windows are occupied by the characters of the animated special, “Yes, Virginia”, which is a retelling of the true story of 8-year old Virginia O’Hanlon, who, in 1897, wrote a letter to the New York Sun, asking if there were really a Santa Claus. Editor Francis Church’s reply, containing the oft-quoted “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist …”, is, over 100 years later, still very much a part of popular culture.

Hermés Holiday 2011 Window Displays
Honeycomb Hideouts
Saturday, December 17th, 2011
NY, NY (Madison & 60th)
Hermés has some nice holiday windows. The windows are covered with an opaque material with layered honeycomb openings allowing a very minimal look into the actual window contents. These are actually very ballsy as they are more about showcasing design and not showcasing product, which I appreciate. As a result though, I am sure that, in the end, that probably adds to the cachet.

These have been up for a while (before Thanksgiving) and probably old hat by now, but here you go… Lady Gaga’s Workshop, along with her boudoir, crystal cave, and very cool motorcycle – this year’s holiday windows at Barneys. There is a dedicated website here. (make sure to scroll down. there is a lot of hidden stuff below the fold.) And if you go there in person, on the 5th floor is the actual “workshop”. A 5,000+ sq ft holiday shop full of crazy – conceived, designed, and blessed by the Virgin Mary herself.

About Me…
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011There have been a couple of stories written in the past couple of weeks for work that I have been doing and I wanted to share them. (I had to toot my horn)
One is a business profile on Apple’s website. I have done quite a bit of work developing sales tools for the iPad, and Apple has recognized our company for its use of the iPad. There are a few mentions of me.

The other is a profile piece, written by Kate Racovolis. The title is “A Preview of Holiday Windows Through a Photographer’s Lens” and concerns itself with my shooting of windows, with the Bergdorf Goodman windows as a main contributor to the narrative thread.

Thanks for letting me toot my horn.
Cheers.

UXUS Press Release:
2011 Holiday Windows
by UXUS for Banana Republic
UXUS was invited by Banana Republic to create the 2011 holiday window scheme for their flagship stores in Milan, Paris and London. The concept is a bold, contemporary take on traditional Christmas ornament motifs, showcasing Banana Republic’s sophisticated signature holiday looks. UXUS’s solution resulted in a lighthearted Op Art interpretation of a classic Christmas ornament theme.
Christmas baubles are enlarged and presented in a kaleidoscope of optical dot and stripe patterns creating an illusionary dimensional trompe l’oeil effect. In-store, the baubles are piled high on shelves with graphic backdrops completing the holiday campaign. Combined, these elements present an unforgettable modern take on the traditional Christmas holiday theme.
The UXUS Banana Republic 2011 Holiday window and in-store presentation will fully be revealed on December 7th, 2011.
Designer: UXUS
Client: Banana Republic
Stores: London – Paris – Milan
