The Birth of a store window blog

When I was in college I did an internship with a designer and she made the work seem like so much fun.  This was way back when I had a desire to follow my creative side and major in Art with an option in Design.  So, she took me under her wing and I became her assistant for a couple of years.  I had so much fun working for her.

She did interior design, merchandising and my favorite, Window Design.  She would do these cool window displays for the stores of her clients.  I loved working with her on these.

But as I graduated from college and went into the real world, I gave it my best shot by trying to have a career in the design industry.  Then some where down the line I ended up going in a different direction.    I am not complaining.  In fact my job has me traveling all over the country and I get to see all sorts of different place and businesses.  And I always silently stop to admire window displays.  So... I've decided to share the ones I like.

My first one will be one in my home town of Washington D.C.  (Did I just really call DC my home town? Were no longer in California toto.)  I liked it so much it was the window that made me think, I should start a blog about this.  HERE it is!!!

As you can see its a halloween window display at, of all places, H&M in the downtown Metro area.

It was fun and creative but a little creepy too.  I think it was the faceless mannequins dressed up.  A great scene for a horror movie.  The merchandiser alone in the store late at night creating her displays, when a creepy deranged man slowly creeps out of his hiding place to sneak up behind her and...Well you get the picture.

I hope you enjoy my new blog and the creativity that comes through it.  I will have to take better pictures though.
