Holiday Windows 2011

Tis the time of year for holiday window displays. Here is a sampling of themes worldwide during this holiday season:
  • Animals. The windows of Macy's San Francisco are featuring adorable animals for adoption from the local SPCA. 
  • 12 Days of Christmas. Holt Renfrew in Toronto has put a "12 days" theme to work in a sophisticated way. Above, the partridge in a pear tree window.
  • Nutcrackers. Printemps Paris's windows feature Paris landmarks (think Eiffel Tower) in winter, with designer Karl Lagerfeld in miniature (left).
  • Santa. Of course, he's coming to town in Melbourne, where the Myer department store features jolly elves and Santa arriving to the delight of young and old.
