CSSI Dresses Up American Girl Store
When the American Girl store set out to win the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association's Best Children's Retail Christmas Windows award, they called on Chicago Scenic. Armed with American Girl's concepts, Tom Ryan designed the two windows. One window used the historical American Girls in a Victorian home at Christmas time, the other showed modern girls singing Christmas carols.

American Girl's Shane McCall wanted the mannequins to look as realistic and move as naturally as possible, so he and CSSI Project Manager John Beckman traveled to Garner-Holt Productions in California to supervise their creation and animation. Chicago Scenic's Wayne Adams supervised the three-day installation.

Chicago Scenic congratulates American Girl on winning this year's award.
