Repetto - IX


Dansez!


The Repetto window on Rue de la Paix is always on my list...

This display in white gives the illusion of petals being blown from a delicate flower.




Repetto
22, rue de la Paix

  3. Extraordinary window. It took a lot of work to put that together.

    I do find the reflection distracting — making it difficult to see what you were picturing. But I think I can view enough to "get the drift" of what the creator has been doing.

  4. Hello Genie:
    Absolutely magical. When in London we have always found the window displays of Selfridge's department store equally inspirational.

  15. I really think that some of the people who do window displays are true artists. This vignette certainly is a work of art!

  19. Melissa, no it is not near Montmartre but on Rue de la Paix near Palais Garnier (Paris Opera). I know that there is another smaller boutique in Paris as well as an outlet.

    Roseann, I love this "other interpretation" of the window... With the leaves floating onto the tutu!

    I met with my dear friend Virginia in Birmingham tonight - we only live five hours apart, but we see more of each other in Paris than in Alabama... Tant pis

    Starman, I agree that the reflection is distracting but regardless of the time of day, I have always found a reflection

    The window designers are amazing and I always hold my breath as I turn the corner onto Rue de la Paix... What treat is in store for me in the window of Repetto this time!

    Bises,
    Genie

  21. I love it when you show the Repetto window Genie, must find out if there's anywhere in Perth that you can buy the flats, there surely must be! Such a pretty image.
