Chanel, Hermes, Bottega, Neiman Marcus, Vuitton, Ferragamo x San Francisco

The final images from San Francisco, massive post ahead for this lovely Labor day. I'm over SF and shot NY last night, but I'm over NY too. You would think with Fashion Night Out coming up, people would try harder with their windows. Let's take a quick final look on the west coast doing it wrong before we move back to the east.





















I thought the Neiman Marcus reflection on Bottega was pretty brilliant because it reminds me of the print.

Neiman Marcus, seriously, this was witty to someone? IF LOVING FASHION IS A CRIME, WE PLEAD GUILTY. Who's guilty for this lame idea? Side bar, I love how Material Girl just came on my itunes. But seriously, if you love fashion so much, I hope you know how to style yourself better.







Perhaps my biggest what the hell is going on here moment was with Vuitton. Recycling last summers success into a less successful display? Do not want, ever.










I feel like this Yohji Yamamoto x Ferragamo collabo came out of the blue. I can't recall even hearing about it once until I saw them in the window.

Boucheron, Prada x San Francisco



I love Boucheron. I would do just about anything for this awesome hedgehog ring or their signature multi finger snake ring. So underrated and so epic at the same time.














This going to sound really weird but between the new hair and the new masks, the mannequins look...thick? I know the body hasn't changed but when shot not full body or at least half body, the proportions look weird to me.


Whatever happened here is beyond messed up, but it's so stunning that it took my breath away for that reason more than the vandalism.
