Jane Eyre Meets The Hunger Games - Smythe Fall Jacket Ads

Style videos for the Smythe Fall 2012 Jacket Collection are fierce and enigmatic with a Neo-Victorian edge. 

A really cool campaign, with a highly cinematic feel that hints at a larger story.

Belated Look @ Fantastic NYC Holiday Windows - Bergdorf, Macy's, Saks & Barney's

While Macy's Animated Steampunk Wonderland Windows are fabulous have been featured prominently on the web my personal favorites are the Bergdorf Goodman windows. They do also show a nod to the Steampunk or Neo-Victorian aesthetic. Featuring Glamorous Women and Suited Beasts posing for vintage portraits as well as some windows overstuffed with fascinating specimens & curiosities.

The full curio windows also remind of Graeme Base's illustrations in Animalia.

Here's a nice look at the fanciful Macy's windows. See some more great detail photos here.

Saks Fifth Avenue also snuck some Steam-inspired gears into their windows.

And Lady Gaga's Workshop @ Barney's featured some very cool Deco Futuristic displays.

Most images via Refinery 29 which features a review of even more NYC windows here.
