Proud of Prada: Some Like It Hot...
Prada, Soho/NYC |
Have you ever noticed how much New Yorkers like 'window shopping'?
It's even more fun - [once, in a while, on a poor cash 'diet'] - to shop windows, especially in a city that prides itself in 'window' displays.
My favorite, of course, 'season' to 'window shop' is Christmas! The most amazing decorations one can see in NYC - in Soho and 5th Ave - they're the most creative displays I've found in the city, which, after 5 years of absence from NYC, I'm looking forward to seeing this year!
Bergdoff Goodman, Saks 5th Ave, Barney's NY, Neiman Marcus, Tiffany's... - as I recall, the way they handle 'window' decorations is to actually hiring professionals in 'window decorations' industry- [a.k.a. seasonal employees] - if not available in-house. How do I know?
Back in the days, when I worked for Cardinal of Canada Canadian label on 56th and 6th Ave., I used to communicate with all the department stores and boutiques on a regular basis and knew ins-and-outs of the clothing industry...[Yes, I did the swatches too and the showroom's showings and the trade/fashion shows as well, and somewhere in my closet I still have my very first cashmere coat, made in Italy by Cardinal of Canada...And, still, after 10 years, it looks fashionable!]

Couldn't help myself from checking the 'windows' in Soho the other day, especially my favorite one - Prada...Always surprise me with their window 'set-up'...This month, they are featuring a rather 'ala Doctor Zhivago' and 'Czarist Time' women in fab furs, winter white long coats, knit-hats and long leather gloves...The details of the clothes and accessories are immaculate - as always...
And the 'baggage scene' reminds me a bit of Some Like It Hot...It really made me to look forward to the winter!
(Can't get enough of fabulous, absolutely gorgeous Julie Christie, as Lara, in the film "Dr. Zhivago"...)
