DECK THE HOLIDAY'S

Armani Exchange Christmas Windows Armani’s Visual Team collaborated with Shop Studios sculptures and artists creating the Armani Exchange Christmas window display. Armani brought sketches and a design concept as a starting point and Shop Studios fabricated and installed the window display. WATCH THE BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO OF SHOP STUDIOS: Eric Steding, Shop’s Designer and Jacques Rosas, Shop’s Artist, and co-founders of Shop Studio’s first inspiration was to guild with silver leaf to bring the forms together and move away from the glassy, bubbly look that the original sculpture had.
