I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that one of my most favourite things about the holiday season is window gazing. The holiday window is a longstanding retail tradition that often takes the whole year to plan. Many of the larger retailers, especially in the US, have been know to hold competitions among top creatives for the best holiday window proposal.
Here in Toronto, the two stores I wait for every year are Hudson’s Bay flagship store on Queen Street, and Holt Renfrew’s flagship on Bloor Street West.
And they did not disappoint!
The Bay unveiled an enchanted menagerie of colour-blocked fairies, presiding over magical scenes of twilight and other worldly Christmas flora and fauna…
Holt Renfrew goes with a theme of all that glitters in gold; languid glamour queens, falling stars, time-capsule treasures…
Which do you like best?
