It’s awards season for the best in film, music and theater. So why not include store windows in the fanfare? After all, window shopping is a basic instinct.
Many of the best designed, most beautiful and popular windows were recognized at the annual WindowsWear Awards, held at the Marquee in Manhattan last Tuesday. Twenty winners were announced across a range of categories from the best holiday window and best collaborative window to the best pop-up, best packaging and best interior displays. For the Windowswear web site, a comprehensive visual database of retail and e-commerce, it’s all about recognizing visual display in a variety of formats. Brands, retailers, designers, architects, media and academic institutions use the content which includes best-in-class visual merchandising, retail design, window displays, product packaging and e-commerce.
Bloomingdale’s received the award for best holiday window. “Bloomingdale’s had an out-of-this-world theme, with UFOs and futurist performers in space suits. It was really cool,” said Jon Harari, cofounder of WindowsWear, a web site that archives hundreds of thousands of photos of window displays, store interiors, merchandise presentations and e-commerce from around the world. “The voting for the best holiday windows was very competitive. Bloomingdale’s didn’t necessarily win by a huge margin.”
