Retail Window Displays | Germany & Austria Edition

I am fascinated by the art of retail window displays. A couple of years ago, I visited Bavaria and Austria over the holidays. The creative energy and vision required make these fascinating exhibits - all with the goal of luring shoppers into the store. It's still a fun activity in the evening...you know, "window shopping". The art of the display is not about how much you can cram into a small space, but rather, allowing enough space for each item to sing its own song in harmony with the other pieces. I hope you enjoy the music!

One of the most offensive stores. Non-native English speakers think it's cool to use the "F" word. I'm no foreigner to it myself, but it's not appropriate in a public forum. Get over yourselves, "Fuckuall"! Find a more creative way to express your freedom.

Love the use of trophies as display hooks.

"Sneakers Not Diapers," said no woman who changes diapers, ever.

Europeans are not shy when it comes to nudity and advertising. You can see how controversial it is by the reactions of people walking by.
