Dial M for Madewell

While the Brits may have decided their bulky phone booths were obselete and removed them from most streets, their design continues to inspire.

Recently Madewell included them in their windows, perhaps as a nod to the Alexa Chung collection (the Bristish TV personality, editor and stylist).

Last month, they were used at Bloomingdales with the Rachel Zoe window.

Using a large iconic prop in an otherwise simple window presentation works well and adds a burst of color and dimension. And where else can super heros change into their costumes?

Uptown Girl by Rachel Zoe at Bloomingdales

America's most notable stylist, Rachel Zoe has launched her clothing collection and Bloomindale's gave her window space to make a splash.

She does a nice job of telling a story through propping and the windows have a pleasing affect. From the mini Eiffel tower, to disco balls in a British phone booth - the themes of leisure and playing come through nicely.

Head over and see what this Uptown Girl is up to.
