What Liberty say about the Inspiration for the Window’s
What inspired the aesthetics of the displays? Were there particular elements from the film that you wanted to highlight?
Lisa: Definitely. The film’s Art Deco influence, especially in the Emerald City scenes, is stunning. There’s intricate tile work, large brass gateways, and iconic scenes like the Yellow Brick Road. We wanted these elements to play a central role in the displays, adding organic touches like foliage to evoke the lush, mystical forests. The film’s architecture even mirrors Liberty’s, making it an immediate and natural link.
