Re: Sewingpalooza

Storefront displays are so interesting, and I’ve seen multiple job openings for visual merchandisers. Design*Sponge has a good post on Anthropologie’s visual merchandising here. It sounds like every Anthropologie location has their own set of artists responsible for the store’s displays.

When I was younger I saw a store in the White Marsh Mall — I think it was Rue 21 — use freeze modeling for their mannequin window displays. Basically, instead of having mannequins stand in the store window modeling clothing, real models stand in the windows and pose like mannequins. If I’m still being unclear, check out a video here of freeze modeling in action. I remember it being so cool and I kept walking by the store to see if they moved or switched or whatever.
