Episode Three: Window Display

Find out where the designers shopped for the Windo Display challenge.

September 17, 2008

NATHAN AND SHAZIA For this challenge we wanted to achieve our client's statement while also capturing our design intent and abilities. The colors expressed turbulent, unknown times moving towards a new unknown optimism. We used solemn grays, vivid pink, and silver. We also used broken glass and mirrors, as well as contrasting and marrying shapes.

KERRY AND WISIT Our display for designer Jeffrey Sebelia's 1940s inspired design was David Hockney's collages seen in a mirrored kaleidoscope. We created a forced perspective while filling the background and floor in an artful arrangement of mirrored tiles. Crackled glass balls and beads were placed in the display for sparkle.

NATALIE AND ONDINE The idea behind our window was "Cocoon to Butterfly." Sweet P told the narrative that the dress starts at the top with a bright orange fitted fabric and flows to the floor ending in navy. The bust area of the dress is tight like a cocoon and slowly flows into ruffles that emerge as a butterfly. We took this narrative and designed our space around it. We created panels of mirrors to create freedom, space, and panels of black, and silver butterfly wallpaper. We wanted to focus on the garment so we attached a shorter piece of screen that flows from the dress with tons of butterflies flying off. The garment was like the Queen butterfly with her swarm of butterflies around her. It was very couture. We also created uplighting on the garment to give a dramatic effect and also created high contrast by painting the walls turquoise and the mannequin black.
