Macy's Windows- Not What I Was Expecting

Despite their much heralded foray into designer collaborations, Macy's doesn't really have that high fashion cachet.  Lord knows I love it there, they are always having a great sale on housewares and I love an impulse Cuisinart purchase, but fashion-forward they are not.

So I was surprised to see these cute windows with cool vintage dresses in them.  There were also montages involving modern clothes, not depicted here because Jessica Simpson's line is a horror I need not impose on my readers.  But I thought these dresses were so gorgeous and a unique take on window dressing for the mass market.  Sure Simon Doonan can do whatever crazy he wants over at Barney's, but they are selling a luxury and irreverence.  Macy's is selling, well, J. Simp and Cuisinart.



So hat's off to Macy's for doing something kind of cool.  (No points awarded, though, for Kinder Aggugini collaboration, I simply did not like it nor do I think it will up their street cred one iota)
