Our first stop is Paris, France, to see the buzzing crowds at Galeries Lafayette before heading to the Italian fashion capital, Milan, where OVS shows off a 100% plastic-free window display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Next we travel to Madrid, Spain, to see the elegant displays at El Corte Ingl\u00e9s before finishing at KaDeWe, a Berlin institution, with its unique Nutcracker inspired windows. Here\u2019s our pick of Europe\u2019s best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:90px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Galeries Lafayette<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Since 1945, Galeries Lafeyette has unleashed the imagination and talent of in-house and guest artists to create a Christmas spectacular year after year. On Boulevard Hausmann, the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade is illuminated, a Christmas tree of epic proportions is on show and the window displays are works of art. This year\u2019s theme, a Christmas beehive, features 11 window displays with 14 bee-autiful characters preparing for their Christmas party. Must sees? The Winter Garden and the Queen Bee banquet with dynamic Flowbox backdrops that truly set these Christmas windows apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"376\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kendu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/galeries.jpg\" alt=\"Galeries Lafayette\" class=\"wp-image-12036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kendu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/galeries.jpg 725w, https:\/\/www.kendu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/galeries-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:90px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OVS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The brainchild of visual merchandisers, Paolo Benzon and Sergio Morales, the Italian fast-fashion brand OVS chose to go plastic free this Christmas. The concept \u201cFrozen Garden\u201d took two months of planning, 700 hours of labour and 2000 sheets of paper to create eight magnificent windows that are 100% plastic-free. With only one week to install the campaign in two different cities, Milan and Florence, the self-proclaimed \u201ccrazy window dressers\u201d have created a wonderland of frosted, oversized flowers that emit elegance and simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"376\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kendu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ovs.jpg\" alt=\"OVS\" class=\"wp-image-12039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kendu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ovs.jpg 725w, https:\/\/www.kendu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ovs-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:90px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>El Corte Ingl\u00e9s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Spain\u2019s leading department store, El Corte Ingl\u00e9s, turns up the dial on elegant luxury for this Christmas. More than 11 months of work went into creating a celebration of the festive season that combines design with the avant-garde, the traditional with the on-trend. Featured in the windows of the department store\u2019s five luxury concept stores across Madrid, Barcelona and Marbella, the beautifully curated windows showcase leading European luxury brands such as Moncler, Balmain and Loewe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"376\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kendu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/eci.jpg\" alt=\"ECI Christmas\" class=\"wp-image-12042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kendu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/eci.jpg 725w, https:\/\/www.kendu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/eci-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:90px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>KaDeWe<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The department store has been an institution in Berlin since 1907 and this year\u2019s eagerly anticipated Christmas campaign, \u201cGet Ready For Xmas\u201d, embraces the idea that everyone celebrates the holidays differently. The focus is on the individual writing their own Christmas story. Each display features a one-off Nutcracker enjoying different moments of the festive season from the &#8220;Shopping Queen&#8221; to &#8220;Pretty In Pink&#8221;, a tropical &#8220;Under Palm Trees&#8221; to a joyful &#8220;Merry Go Round&#8221;.
