Cool Brands + Cool Designers = Cool Windows

michael stipe for rogan.jpgIf you haven’t checked out Michael Stipe’s installation at the Rogan store on Bowery - go now. It’s awesome.

And if you don’t live in NYC, we’re sorry. But there’s another cool collaboration coming your way.

Stephen Burks, the American industrial designer who works in furniture, packaging and fashion, (including Calvin Klein, Missoni and Estee Lauder), was chosen by Tod’s to build window displays for twenty of the luxury brand’s international flagships.

The displays will be built of transparent layers inviting the viewers to see, “not just the merchandise in the windows, but the entire shop floor”.

There were overly made up models dancing in the windows of Armani Exchange in Soho last night and they made us want to run the other way.

But a talented designer in the windows of a beloved Italian house? Sounds much more promising.

Ugh, I was just down there today and forgot about it. I should have shoot it, maybe this weekend I'll check it out. & guys, I've been saying Manhattan windows are the coolest for months. A good quarter of my life is dedicated to documenting the awesomeness.
