Bloggers made into Mannequins @ Holts
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
This Friday, June 26 Holt Renfrew Bloor Street (@Bay) will unveil its latest window scheme inspired by —- Fashion Bloggers.
The blogger windows will be displayed across Canada at nine stores and will feature high-profile bloggers such as The Sartorialist’s Scott Schuman, Tommy Ton (Jak & Jil) and 17-year-old Texan Jane Aldridge (Sea of Shoes). Local fashion blogger Anita of I want I got even made the list, an amazing mention I’m sure as only a very small handful were chosen!
I’m not sure how any of the bloggers were involved in any of the planning (I hear none) – and as of yet we don’t know exactly what to expect although it is possible there will be mannequins dressed as the bloggers! Hilarious!
