guilds and emblems in Salzburg

quite comme il faut chez LV

... last week I had the chance to visit the pretty jewel case that is Salzburg - and before I went to my interview appointment, I took a good look at Getreidegasse - for the first time in years, actually...

self-explaining

... with its weird mélange of traditional guild emblems (which this little street is famous for) and the versions that global brands created for their presence in this very chic part of Austria...

Zara has little dancing figurines

... from reduced Nordic design (not so appealing: H&M) via luxury (comme il faut: Louis Vuitton) to surprising pageantry (McDonalds...?)...

Salamander sells its shoes

no great ado from the Swedes...

you might not recongise it: it's a shoe, and it's Bally

Mc Donalds does make its point VERY clear - new noblesse oblige...
