Honorable Mention - Prada Display In The Desert



This is an interesting marketing idea. Could the thought behind this simulated shoe store in the middle of a desert been to create word of mouth buzz? Not sure, but this structure seemed so out of place that it qualifies for my Hello Houston blog.

This structure/billboard combination rests along highway 90 in Valentine a small Texas town 665 miles West of Houston. Marfa, TX about 35 miles away has a place to shop for Prada.

Actually, I've heard it's an art installation :)
