Banners and Ribbons at Gap and Express

We always enjoy seeing similar ideas at different places and here's a new example.

At Gap, they have made a ribbon "curtain" using 2" thick gros grain and lucite stripes to keep it taut, while adding additional ribbon to mannequins perhaps in reference to the upcoming holiday season.

While at Express, they are using a combination of shiny and matte papers in 12" strips to create a little splash for their new perfume.

Both are simple ideas but cleanly executed and add a welcome burst of color to help catch one's eye.

Note the Pink Ribbon entry below from last week which uses a similar idea and I'll add another version in paper soon.
