dance some more
The display team describes the inspiration as a light, ephemeral glimpse of a spring day. They had a crazy three weeks putting all of this together and it came out really amazing.
One of the display girls hand painted all of the ballerinas. She did similar paintings of these girls (sans tutus) for another display and the paintings are currently decorating our offices.
The tutus and garland samples were made and developed by our team here and then one of them went to India to work on production.
The paper garlands are stapled to the ceiling. There are about 200 strands of paper garland in each store.
The hanging ballerina's in the tutu's are just hung on dummy busts from the store and hung on chain attached to the ceiling. The ladies are wearing Free People camis with their tutus.

So beautiful!
I wish we have a Free People store here in southern California...

Wow 200 strands of paper garland in each store how amazing! It must be challenging to make hand crafted store displays for eight stores in a three weeks deadline. Will FP continue to hand craft the displays as they expand and open up more stores on the West Coast?

I love your store displays. Could you please tell me where you got the black shelves? I've been looking everywhere for some like them.
