Way To Go Bloggers!

holt-renfrew-3

Holt Renfrew, Canada’s prestigious department store chain (and one of my personal favorite shopping destinations there) recently announced that it will be revealing a run of blogger-inspired window displays for nine of its stores this Friday.  Of course the bloggers they have chosen as inspiration are all high profile names in North America, including those of Jak&Jil, Bryanboy, and the Sartorialist.  Holt Renfrew’s creative director John Gerhardt is planning to use captures from the blog sites and possibly mannequins dressed as the bloggers themselves! I wonder how we would be represented if the O Girls and I were chosen for a project like this.  Congrats to all the chosen bloggers!

I will try to get hold of photos and share them with you!
