Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and I'll already wish everyone a Happy New Year as this will be my last post before 2010. And what better way to end the year than with this month's Lanvin windows (which have already been replaced since I've left Paris). Not sure what the theme is this time, but whatever party the mannequins are attending - it seems to be quite windy affair. If you've missed previous Lanvin boutique displays, click here to see more.
As an added bonus, I've snapped a few pics of the Lanvin windows in Hong Kong, which are completely different. I have no idea if these are part of Alber's vision, as non-Paris windows in general rarely correspond with the French ones, but I found them to be quite fun in their own way. Stay tuned for more Hong Kong and Helsinki posts once I'm home next week...

ReplyDeletei have been eyeing lanvin recently. happy new year. xo SG
ReplyDeleteThis is the best thing I've seen! The Paris windows are extraordinary! It's odd that windswept and chopped up mannequins seem more life-like then the whole ones with good posture.
ReplyDeleteThe Lanvin window displays in Paris are beyond compare!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Happy New Year, darling HS!

WOW! It is in fact such a different style from one to another. I guess there must be a reason behind. I prefer the Paris ones. They are so surprising and genuine. I hope you also had a good start of the year.

ReplyDeleteOh god, Vertigo meets Lanvin meets dramatic red... I'm in !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this GLEE for 2010 !
And of course... HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!

ReplyDeleteOh Happy new year to you too!
I love the windswept concept- it's soo original and interesting to look at! Going from Paris to Hong Kong the windows are soo different- quite interesting. I love the feather boas- reminds me of when I got yelled at for playing in a bunch of them at a fabric store! Happy 2010 to you! xo, Mel
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I love these window pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh those Lanvin windows were so entertaining! I love when humor and fashion collide
ReplyDeleteso super cute-that would be such a fun job xo
ReplyDeletei topple over all the time and never look that chic. lol.
ReplyDeletehappy new year love!
Happy New Year! Thanks for always sharing these really cool window displays. I like that the mannequins are toppled over and fallen apart intentionally while wearing lovely Lanvin.
ReplyDeleteHi there! I'm from Hong Kong and I'm so happy to stumble upon your blog. It's quite interesting to see how different the Lanvin windows are in Asia and Paris. I visit Paris every year in September and I just love it there! So did you enjoy your stay here? Anyway, don't forget to enjoy some great Chinese and Japanese food here! Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Happy New Year for you my friend!
ReplyDeleteA lot of love and fashion for you!!
I hope your 2010 had a great start!:-) I was absolutely thrilled to see new Lanvin windows - Lanvin displays always inspire me, they are often very different, but somehow always true to Lanvin style. Thank you so very much for posting this pictures, I am once again, so very sad that I do not have an opportunity to be in Paris as often as I want.:-)
ReplyDeletehaha, the lanvin paris windows are so quirky. simple and effective! ahhh i miss hong kong, hope it treated you well :) xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures...the first one cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteHello Dear !
ReplyDeleteLanvin windows are always amazing !
I wish you all the best for 2010 !
Lots of love*°*°*°
Happy new year! I love how whimsical the Paris storefront is. And I'm soo jealous you are now in hk - bet you'll be bringing home lots of goodies!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you document windows for all of us to see :-). Like performance art for fashion! The Lanvin one's in particular are my faves - mannequins gone bad!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, Haute Shopper!
ReplyDeleteIf mannequins could party, these ones look like they had a much more interesting time on NYE than I did.
As a former visual merchandiser, I'm in love with this post! I wish we could have been our mannequins as interesting as these are :)
ReplyDeleteI love stopping by your blog for my daily tour around the world :) Enjoy your weekend
looks like a fashion crime scene in paparazzi =)
