Manish Arora for Nespresso (Paris, France)

Still looking for a perfect Xmas gift for that certain someone who's both stylish and completely addicted to caffeine? Well, look no further, because the world's most fashionable coffee maker is now available, courtesy of Manish Arora, who's applied his signature flamboyant style to the chic Nespresso 'CitiZ' machines. Normally I wouldn't bother posting about home appliances on this blog, but the most adorable animated window (above) from the Nespresso flagship on Champs-Élysées caught my eye two weeks ago, and before I knew what was happening, I was filming away (see the animated window in the video at the end of this post).

Cute window decor, though nothing beats the sparkly animated window.

I later found out, that the story behind those cute little Nespresso figures and magical surroundings is part of a theme about a fairytale kingdom called 'Swig' which is governed by Bacchitarius who weds Queen Nespresso. She gives birth to 16 princesses (poor thing) who go on a mission to spread love around the world. In addition to the mini Nespresso dolls, a collection of full-sized clothes was unveiled as well - again 16 looks in total, all inspired by the 16 different Nespresso flavors. If that's not enough, major flagships selling these limited edition machines featured cute in-store displays and other decor curated by Arora himself.

A closer look at some of the whimsical details of the main window.

More displays...
