Style Report | Halloween Displays

Without sounding too dorky, I appreciate store window displays that make me stop and look - after all, that is what they are meant for. Window displays are meant to garner attention; Halloween is a time of the year where retailers really put extra attention into relevance, detail, and attention grabbing. No other place is this more on display than Bleecker Street in the West Village of NYC. A mecca of retail heaven, their Halloween window displays go to prove that fashion doesn't have to give way to fright and inspiration can be found in all corners of existence. Take Ralph Lauren's "Double-L-R" store(above), for example. Their use of skeleton derived mannequins not only paints a vivid picture of controversy that has always plagued the industry but also makes use of the holiday and time of the year with oranges, browns, grays, and reds - resembling the metamorphosis of the leaves during fall. And leave it to Marc Jacobs(below) to go above and beyond in making a statement. I must admit, their floor-to-ceiling wall completely covered with bones is very cool.
