Back in January, I briefly featured the Louis Vuitton windows of the Paris flagship, which showed two very active zebras having fun with a few of the company's signature handbags. A few days ago, passing London's Bond Street boutique, I had a sense of déjà vu when I sighted not just two, but six life-sized zebras in total. And that's not counting the army of mini zebras in the smaller windows.
I've always wondered how certain flagships of larger brands share their props. Chanel has identical windows throughout the world during the same time frame, but the likes of Lanvin and now Louis Vuitton seem to have touring visual merchandise. In which case, if you have a Vuitton boutique in your neck of the woods, watch out - the zebras may be stopping by in the near future (if they haven't already).



The three zebras in the first section of windows. Note that the mannequin has a matching outfit - very appropriate.

The herd of mini zebras in the mid-section, surrounding a necklace.


A zebra and his scarves. The second storey shows the rest of the display.

A zebra on the second floor, dangling a purse.

The final zebra performs an impressive balancing act (again, continued on the second floor).

The entire display in the second section of windows.

The two smaller windows around the corner, featuring more mini zebras - and bags.

Wow, zebra props with zebra prints?! What a cool concept! I love to marvel at their window displays and I have to check out if the stores here do the same! The zebra playing with bags is so eye catching! Thank you for your sweet comment regarding my work situation..I'm glad I made the decision to leave. xoxoxoo
ReplyDeletethe windows are absolutely magic, these and the Lanvin and some of the others are simply art
ReplyDeletewhy why why don't other shops DO their windows
remember barely checking into hotels anywhere and running to window shop - it matters so much

One of the cutest displays ever!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, all the Zebra's look pretty cool. I love the last one!
ReplyDeleteOh they are just so adorable, these zabras!!! The ones rolling on their backs reminded me of my puppy - he likes doing what is called "happy dog", which is basically rolling on his back with and smiling ear to ear (yes, he can smile, my dog :) )
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't you think that nude/powder pink bag with black trimming on the last picture looks a bit like mini Fendi B from a few seasons back?
Hope you are enjoying lovely weather and your week's been going great.

ReplyDeleteSwoon at that LV dress in the second picture. I saw Fergie wearing it on the cover of LUCKY magazine last month and have been obsessed with it ever since! :)

Love it! I always find myself nipping out to see if I can spot these displays after reading your posts (I think I go in to London mode and just storm straight past them!)
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! The window displays play such an important role in the brand image, I would love to see more creative work every season not only among the big fashion houses, but high-street fashion as well. Ada
ReplyDeleteLove it! Window decorating must be so much fun - especially when you have creative freedom like here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful window decoration.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that it is a touring exhibition. Love the Zebras on their backs balancing the bags. Very funny. Had a great holiday thank you. I have family there so it is a very relaxing and loving time. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteI like the zebra rolling around on the ground!
ReplyDeleteI love LV bags, who doesn't?!
ReplyDeleteand I also love zebras, such a beautiful animal.. however is so sad to see them like that... dead... don't you think?
all my love for you HW
Hi there-what cute and crazy window displays, so unique and lovely, thanks for sharing!! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the Zebras and what a great window display.
ReplyDeleteIt must be such a great job organizing what is going to go in the window.
Happy week
Hugs

@Kirafashion: Those aren't real or dead zebras. They're basically just giant toy animals made of synthetic materials.
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish we had as spectacular a window display as this over here! I love looking at window displays, and the use of the zebras is fun and cute. There's something about mixing fashion and animals that is so intriguing.

That's one of the most fabulous displays I've ever seen! Love every single thing about it! :)
ReplyDeleteWow the ZEBRAS! Looking so great! Also loving the LV suitcases in the windows. Do you mind sharing how you ever snap photos of shop windows? Do you have to be across the street?
ReplyDeleteCrazy creative, adore the windows so whimsical
ReplyDeleteI always pass the Louis shop on my way from DSM to the Burlington Arcade, but I never really stop to look at the window displays. Tends to be too sparkly for my liking, but I musy say that the zebras are rather cute.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun window displays!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these fabulous pics!

ReplyDeleteohh I saw that dress in Harpers Bazarr Taiwan last month (the one sitting on the zebra) I didn't know that is LV. it looks very different than their other stuff! I wonder if those zebras are real but stuffed?!?
