As we have seen in the past year or two, manor houses and country estates have been major influences in windows and store displays. From mounted animal heads, rich fabrics to stately ornate furniture and gold picture frames. And it appears it is re-occuring as a theme for displaying autumn collections. See Jigsaw's window which uses family portraits framed in decadent gold frames in place of mannequin heads. It seems instead of a head of flowers, the new trend for mannequins this autumn/winter is traditional-style paintings! As for the department store Hoopers, they have opted for a different take on the country estate theme, and gone with a library. Books are cleverly stacked to display accessories - and even put on a mannequin's head! In between the mannequins are also lamps with beautiful lace shades - I would not mind one of those - along with the purple Mulberry! Also separate to that main fashion window, Hoopers currently have an adorable childrens window; with colourful pastel hues, piled cushions and beautiful fabrics.
See some photos below - and sorry they are very reflective!
