So we have noticed a trend on finding new ways to show Chevron. These images are from J.Crew’s new window, and below are images from Moss Bros London featured on retailstorewindow.com. It’s great to see that this pattern is still trending strong and that stores are getting creative with their adaptations. Also, be sure to check out our last post on Chevron from Banana Republic.
