More and more retailers are including gay themed relationships in their Valentine’s window displays – something you never would have seen as recent as five years ago. And last year Holt Renfrew a Canadian retailer not only celebrated gay relationships but inter-racial relationships as well – another taboo you don’t see in window displays.

This window display remind’s us the we just don’t have to celebrate romance on Valentine’s Day – but other things we love – like food and accessories. Great idea!

Harvey Nichols takes this opportunity to sell menswear, food, womenswear and accessories. The white shirt is the stable of these windows, I especially love the ‘O’.

Calvin Klein, King’s Road.

Agent Provocateur, Pont Street never disappoint me with their Valentine’s Day windows, cool play on words: ’4 flashes, 1 strip’.

Tiffany & Co, Sloane Street.

This blog post comes courtesy of one of our favorite blogs, The Window Display Blog. It is written by a Kaisa Leinonen, a visual merchandiser based in London who is as obsessed with store window displays as and we are obsessed with mannequins. Every Tuesday we feature a guest post from an internationally based blogger to give you examples of sensational window displays from all over the world. Of course we tend to think all window displays look better with mannequins in them, but we appreciate all kinds of creative visual merchandising.
