The brilliant mirrored window display at TOPSHOP on Oxford Circus


I really like the current display at the store right now and tweeted a photo via Twitter about 2 weeks ago. I took some photos recently to give you some clearer and closer shots of the window in case you have not managed to see it in person. It is very cleverly done. The mannequins are all laid flat down on the ground, in a lie-down position and there are mirrors just above them, set at an angle and reflecting the entire body of each mannequin towards you as you stand by the window.

As you can below, they are not your usual mirrors as they give off distorted effects. Some mannequins have big torsos, some have a tiny ones with tiny arms. Some have small heads while others have big ones.

    I am EXACTLY the same!  I love the autumn/winter collection because the clothes and accessories just look so much better.  I am a huge fan of knitwear, winter coats and scarves but I just hate the cold!

    I love the distortions too as it is just interesting to look at! :]

    Agreed!  I mentioned to someone that whoever came up with this concept was thinking outside the box.  I love people who can come up with different ways to showcase the products!
