oy vey anthro-polo-jay

my girlfriend the artist judith bigham gleefully used to say {ironically} "why go to an art museum? the best art is seen while shopping!"

i dropped by the new anthro store relocated to newbury street here in boston, and as usual was wowed by the amazing window displays..(promise to take some pix later on this week)

i mean they really know how to rock the most mundane of materials, and merchandise the crap out of their spaces!

hats off to you anthropologie!

anthro crush

for a little design inspiration, i stopped by anthropologie on my way to the market last night, and was greeted by this amazing bouquet of dipped paper cones a masssed into the arrangement here..incredible! in my opinion, merchandising can be one of my greatest challenges (struggles) when setting up for a show. it is just plain hard! sometimes i just think..either you have it or you don't. and anthropologie just puts them all to shame..except for the master simon doonan. more on this at a later date!
i do hate the word creative..but this is so that. i mean the floating boat? and the stuffed pillow anchor? come on!


super preciosa. no? rid-unck-u-lous.

anthropologie

every time i go to anthro i get blown away by their amazing displays. they are truly breathtaking, and so truly original. you can feel the art department and skillset as you wander through the store. i have heard that each one of their stores has its own design department. no wonder it looks so good in there. the only rub is that there is no coffee table book that has documented what they have done over the years..with all of us fans taking snaps..it might just be do able.
