Brainstorm: Let Stylists Take Over Your Front Window

IS THERE A COLLEGE that offers design or visual merchandising courses near you? Why not set aside one of your front windows each month (start with bridal this October) for young stylists to show off their skills. Tell them they can use whatever props they like, no matter how unconventional (motorcycle parts, old photos, their own funky mannequins …). Good or bad, the results are likely to be head-turning, and people will appreciate the chance you are giving students to build their portfolios.
