Filled to the brim with photos of surreal windows from Lord & Taylor, Hermes, and more. Includes advice on creating memorable displays, dressing mannequins, branding and creating store signage, lighting, and a calendar of ideas for marketing in every month of the year.
Natasha Kroll was Russian-born display designer who worked for several of the UK's largest department stores in the 1940s and 1950s, including Rowntree's and Simpsons. Later in her career, she became a BAFTA award winning production designer, and was famous for her work for the BBC in the late 1950s and 1960s.
