I've always loved store display windows, especially during the holidays. My uncle was a window display artist and made a huge impact in my life with regards to design. He was well respected in his industry and had major talent. Every year I love hiking downtown to look at Department Store window displays however was disappointed this year as the Hudson Bay Company didn't have their traditional holiday display due to the Olympics display (apparantly not enough time to take down and put up) - rather sad. So I went hunting online for a few treasures to feed my soul. (Thanks to twitter.com/storewindows for many of these links).

The Gothamist has a post on New York's displays. From Barney's SNL-inspired windows to Lord & Taylor's more traditional display.

Anthropologie at Rockefeller Center in New York seems to be my favourite so far. See pictures here, here and here and another favourite here (using old school chairs and rulers). Also check out their flickr pool of many of their windows across the world.

Another Normal has heaps of window display pics. From Christmas past to Christmas present.

I love this Christmas in NYC 2009 set and this one too.
