Looks like everyone's in just as much of a tizzy over the soon-to-be-released Johnny-Depp-Helena-Bonham-Carter-Tim-Burton-Disney mash-up Alice in Wonderland as we are. The Independent is reporting that both Bloomingdale's flagship in New York and Printemps in Paris will be creating Alice in Wonderland-themed window displays — Printemps has corralled a diverse group of designers including Chloe, Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane, Maison Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, Charles Anastase, Haider Ackermann, and Bernhard Willhelm into participating. We can't wait to see the unveiling! Companies such as jewelry designer Tom Binns, fashion designer Sue Wong, Swarovski, as well as cosmetics companies OPI and Urban Decay have also caught Alice-fever and will be issuing limited-edition Wonderland product in conjunction with the movie release on March 5.
