Everyone enjoys a good store window, but I'm even more impressed when retailers apply the same creativity to in-store displays. I took these around two weeks ago while browsing my favorite Parisian department store Le Bon Marché:





And yes, these creatures looked remarkably life-like in person. Those Pucci dresses were gorgeous as well but I ended up wanting to purchase the leopard instead...
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

Really love that you posted this, perfect inspirational.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! Those do look real. Makes me wonder who the creative brains are behind these displays. The store or pucci? Either way, job well done.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had displays like that in the States - I have never seen something so eyecatching!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow...or should I say rawr?
ReplyDeleteI wonder how that concept trickled all the way down and actually made it no the floors...
Paris is for sure the best place in the world for shopping!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
Haha! That's wonderful. And I'm definitely going to pay more attention to indoor displays now! Love!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome concept! The lion is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHmm I am not sure if my first comment went through BUT i was just saying that I love this concept and I love the lion. Oh and that wonderful gown!
ReplyDeletewow, welcome to the wild :-)
ReplyDeletehey, i can't have half a day on Friday, but i can finish work early (4pm) and meet you for dinner/snacks etc
Will this be ok for you?
Hope you had a lovely sunny weekend!

ohemGEE!!! I LOVE THESE!
ReplyDeletedo you remember that stupid movie mannequin (i'd say late '80s)? i think that is when i first decided i wanted to have a career doing window displays. that dream faded quickly! ahhahaha. but those that do any kind of display that WOWS really really really impress me! :)
Oooh! It's definitely eye-catching! I love that they put the same creative effort in the store dispaly as they do on the windows! I want to get that white dress in the last picture! xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWow! I might be freaked out. Oh, but I love Pucci too much.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! Love Le Bon Marche and what an impressive display. I thought it was a real tiger! :-)
ReplyDeletehaha.. i always wanted a tiger when i was a kid so these displays are obviously amazing in my eyes. i'm itching to travel - been stuck in the UK for too long, argh! xxx
ReplyDeletethose animals looked very real in the photos!
ReplyDeleteWalk of Fashion
grrrr, all the wild cats are a great way to decorate thestore with!
ReplyDeleteanimals and mannequins in cages...wow. great idea. ohh I love that slinky nude gown
ReplyDeleteAmazing displays! I have never seen anything like it. I have never been a great fan of Pucci (to much color), but this would certainly make me want to walk in the the store. :-))) Wishing you wonderful week ahead!:-)
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos!

Simply WOW...I adore the use of animals in these displays! Both the lion and tiger are especially spectacular. It is great to see wonderful indoor displays, especially something so fantastic as this.
ReplyDeleteI would love some advice on London! Actually we are looking for a great place to have Indian food, because we heard that there is some particularly good curry here. If you have an ideas, definitely let me know! Thanks!

whoa! full on!
ReplyDeleteYeah but sometimes it's the setting that makes you want to reach for your credit card and swipe it. After all, this is a business!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not quite surprised that they went for such a wild display as their designs for this upcoming season were filled with an underlying jungle feeling. I'll make sure to pay a visit next time I'm in town! :)
Of course Pucci would have a wild interior. I agree with you, I would want to by the animals first though. Where did you see Charlotte Gainsbourg? Twice? Lucky girl!

Oh Pucci! Incredible and unique...always! I have a Pucci tights by Wolford and I adore them. Perfect for the black combos. :)
ReplyDeleteOMGosh for a second I thought that Tiger was real! I love it!
ReplyDeleteBut you're so right, I wasn't even looking at the clothes!
I've missed your blog, missy! Hope all's been well with you!
xo
I wanna purchase the tiger!! it really makes me wanna buy one and put it in my house though... brilliant idea that the animals are outside the cage while they models are inside. lol a while back I wanted to get a fuzzy white polar bear or zebra rug for my room and my bf was like.. "this is your bedroom, not a champagne room!" LOL whatever I still want one!
ReplyDeleteI must have just missed you at Le Bon Marché;-)
ReplyDeletePlease drop me a message next time;-)
Love the Pucci pieces. LOL! xx
Very impressive. I too would want to take the leopard or a tiger or two home. Thank you for showing us the Bon's creative side. Hoping you had a lovely weekend as well? Your life is always very exciting! Thank you for always leaving such great comments. Always & truly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteCheers ~ xx
wow. they do look extremely real. i love pucci. they make incredible print bathing suits.

I love the cages, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeletei love the animal addition. especially with the lions, rawrr :)
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing!
Hi there-wow, what an awesome display, thanks for sharing! Wishing you a lovely week too my dear!
ReplyDeleteWow! We need more lions in department stores...
ReplyDeletexxx
How gorgeous! If I'd taken my five year old daughter shopping in there I'm sure she would have remained occupied enough for me to have a leisurely shop! x
ReplyDeleteOnly Pucci could pull off those life-size animals but somehow it just works. Love the displays.
ReplyDeleteI guess there was a certain atmosphere :) Pucci has amazing products!
ReplyDeleteI loooove Pucci, and the animals are a great idea as well!
