Each student created a display that will adorn the Cliché storefront from December 13 to January 23rd. Cliché is also running a photo contest in which photogs can submit their own photos of the window displays.

The top three photos will be chosen January 20th and the winners will receive a Cliché gift card. [via MNfashion newsletter]
