Alice may have worked the looking glass for Lewis Carroll, but in her latest guise, she only has eyes for the shop windows of Printemps. The star of the Parisian department stores spring display, this Alice is bedecked in Christopher Kane, Haider Ackermann and Alexander McQueen, and a rabbit’s head. Its all part of a collaboration with Disney, in anticipation of Tim Burtons new film adaptation, which opens next month. Curiouser [...]
Last night’s season premiere finally provided solid answers to some of Lost’s biggest mysteriesonly to boggle fans with more questions. But Jack pondering his reflection in the airplane bathroom hinted that—through the looking glass—there’s an alternate world.So, as the show’s producers promised, this season will contain no flash-forwards or flashbacks. Instead, there are two separate storylines: one picks up where (but not when!) [...]
Yesterday afternoon I got to spend a bit more time with my dear Aussie Kirsten before she had to pack up her bags and return home to Australia where she will be attending medical school. I seriously love that woman and I wanted to spend just a bit more time with her before I had to say goodbye … here is the last Polaroid we snapped before she jetted back home to Oz last night:As sad as I am that she has to leave, I’m so excited for [...]
Last week, we previewed a sketch of Nicholas Kirkwood’s Alice in Wonderland-inspired heels, made on commission for the French department store Printemps, which is giving over its windows to all things Alice through March. (Sad to say, they’re window-only—you’ll have to find another pair to wear to the theater.) For the installation, Kirkwood is joined by Ann Demeulemeester, Alexander McQueen, Bernhard Willhelm, Charles [...]

But planning holiday decorations is no joke: Since lookers could become buyers, the stakes are high — especially this year. In fact, some retailers plan a year in advance for their holiday windows, and are already working on next years’ decorations. We at [...]
Themed “Have a Witty Holiday,” the new windows at Barneys New York are inspired by Saturday Night Live sketches from the past 35 years. Papier-mch versions of the Coneheads, Roseanne, and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin are all included, along with the season’s best clothes. See these windows, as well as the whimsical Lewis Carroll–inspired Bergdorf Goodman windows, in our Holiday Window slideshow. Read more posts by Sharon ClottFiled Under: tis [...]

Of all the elaborate holiday displays that light the city’s main shopping drags this time of year, Bergdorf Goodman’s windows are widely considered to be the pinnacle of the spectacle. Though the store’s windows span five streets, the main event is made up of the five Fifth Avenue–facing windows of the women’s department, at 58th Street. The meticulous mind behind the magic is that of David Hoey, Bergdorf’s director of [...]
BoingBoing calls this series of Alice in Wonderland nudes “sexy.” Not sure that’s the word we’d use, although they are kind of NSFW. Anyway, doubtful Lewis Carroll would agree, if you know what I mean. [BoingBoing via FrankBrunner] Via [...]
