Lady Gaga’s crystal cave—whatever that means (Image: Courtesy of Barney’s New York)
There’s so much to love about the holidays in a city: the aroma of freshly prepared seasonal drinks to get us going in the morning, hearing carols inside shops, fresh snow blanketing our favourite monuments and the many festive window displays at nearly every department store. Fashion magazine takes a look at the windows of popular department stores Holt Renfrew and The Bay and puts them side by side with Lady Gaga’s Barneys windows (which barely have anything to do with the holidays), Ogilvy’s woodland-themed tableaus, Bergdorf Goodman’s gaudy gilded birdcage and more. How do The Bay and Holt Renfrew’s efforts compare to the show-offs in New York? Take a look at the gallery and pick your favourite in Fashion’s poll »
Is this a joke? There is absolutely no comparison. The Toronto displays are inferior in almost every way. Why discredit this magazine by suggesting the Toronto retail experience deserves to be juxtaposed to the New York one in a slideshow?
