There’s a lot of talk about the need for discovery and whimsy in fashion. One mall got serious about it.

The Bloc, formerly Macy’s Plaza in downtown Los Angeles, is in the process of renovating. In the past week, mall workers affixed a flock of 2,000 origami birds to its entry way off of 7th Street. Increasing its arts quotient, the whimsical flock is placed near the two sculptures made out of bicycle wheels. The mall’s renovation will take a formal bow next year.
