A recent collaboration between iconic department store Barneys New York and cult fashion brand Hood By Air create a series of hyper-realistic window displays that showcased looks from the Spring Summer 2016 runway show.

Separately, the new Chanel Amsterdam flagship store boasts a stunning glass house-inspired facade and is situated along P.C. Hooftstraat, the luxury shopping destination of the Dutch capital. The gorgeous boutique blends old and new architectural elements and is notably the first purpose-built luxury flagship to be opened in the Amsterdam.
