In this Christmas season, major luxury brands have launched their festive Christmas window displays.
By integrating signature patterns, new collection pieces, or cleverly using colors and lighting, these brand’s Christmas window displays have become “check-in spots.” With the help of social media, these displays further amplify the brand’s presence.
Apart from the window displays, luxury brands also hold Christmas lighting ceremonies at their boutiques, commercial bodies, and city landmark shopping centers, or introduce Christmas trees and other festive installations. While celebrating the holiday, these acts also showcase the brand’s image and increase consumer attention to the brand.
Luxeplace.com has specially compiled a list of Christmas window displays and Christmas tree installations from ten luxury brands around the world: Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, Gucci, Cartier, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Prada. Let’s see how these major brands stand out and reach new heights of beauty in the cold winter.
Dior
Locations: Temporary store on New York’s Fifth Avenue/Beverly Hills boutique in Los Angeles; flagship store in Seoul, South Korea/Cheongdam-dong pop-up store; Plaza 66 boutique in Shanghai/Zhang Garden pop-up store in Shanghai/Chengdu Taikoo Li boutique/Sanya Edition Hotel; Saks Fifth Avenue luxury department store in New York; K11 MUSEA in Hong Kong
In late May, Dior held its Early Spring 2024 ready-to-wear collection show at the alma mater of legendary Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Maria Grazia Chiuri found a motif related to Mexico and Frida in the brand’s archives – the butterfly. It was prominently featured on the chest, intertwined in accessories, or hidden in jacquards.
This Christmas, this golden butterfly element adorns Dior boutiques in major cities around the world.
Apart from decorating boutiques, Dior also collaborated with Saks Fifth Avenue in New York to transform its flagship store into a winter wonderland.
