Went to Park Life Shopping Centre at the Beijing Yintai Centre to check out the Elle celebration event. I am sad to say that I've become rather spoiled due to the many amazing exhibitions that I've seen here and found the Elle event slightly disappointing. The event was less of an exhibition but rather a combination of small, randomly placed installations that were difficult to find in the large shopping centre.

There were multiple displays that were videos flashing years worth of Elle magazine covers. It was fun to see how many I recognized however, I was expecting a more informative presentation that gave some insight into the magazine and publishing process. Elle is an amazing magazine that puts together photoshoots featuring the latest designers, models and photographers, carries interesting interviews and spreads covering the most fascinating people in the fashion industry. I wanted a glimpse of that and thought the exhibition didn't do the magazine justice.

These were some of the other displays at the luxury shopping centre although not part of Elle that caught my attention. I loved the birds, but then again I do have a weakness for feathers!

My love for the Hemès display windows may seem endless but they have such talent for choosing simple, elegant displays.
