By day, I keep dodging pedestrians to take shots. The night version of these windows will come in the future.

Van Cleef & Arpels' Spring decorations.

This Dior store on 57th Street is closed for renovations, but I love the purse façade they'll have up until December 2010.

I used to lecture on retail design at Central Saint Martins, London, and Harvey Nicks have achieved what few retail operations attempt - they have considered the visual whole of the main facade. The display windows on each floor are part of a comprehensive and temporary design treatment. And it looks absolutely stunning. I was told they have an Artist in Residence who created these windows. Best retail windows I've seen in years. And a close look at the materials he/she used in the ground floor display reveals inexpensive easily found (and recycled) cardboard and wood off-cuts.
