Past Window Displays
In 2010, Jody Kahlon established her boutique in Glen Huntly, a charming suburb in Melbourne. Breaking away from the conventional choice of high-traffic shopping districts, she embraced the challenge of making her presence known in this quiet neighborhood. Her solution? Captivating, ever-changing window displays reflect her couture designs and serve as a canvas for creative expression.
Since 2012, Jody has collaborated with a diverse array of artists to transform her boutique’s windows into works of art, each telling its own story. These installations go beyond showcasing fashion—they merge design, art, and storytelling, making every passerby stop and admire.
Explore the gallery below to witness the evolution of her window displays, each one showcasing her passion for creativity and collaboration.

Drawing inspiration from countless hours immersed in the world of “Mad Men” coupled with her penchant for checks and tartan prints, Jody unveiled “The MadMen”.
This scene transports you to a bygone era, capturing the timeless allure of mid-century aesthetics. Jody’s creation takes centre stage, exuding sophistication and charm amidst the meticulously curated backdrop. One of the highlights of the display is the exquisite lamp, its shape mirroring the elegance of Jody’s dress, both crafted from the same fabric.
Complementing the ambiance is the artwork of Mark Galea, adding an extra layer of depth and intrigue to the homage paid to “The Mad Men” era.
