Immer größer und eleganter und mit Glaskuppeln, Aufzügen und Restaurants ausgestattet wurden die Warenhäuser in den deutschen Großstädten in den 1920er Jahren als "Kathedralen des Konsums" bezeichnet. [G] As they grew ever larger, more elegant and more sumptuously appointed with glass cupolas, lifts and restaurants, by the 1920s department stores across Germany had become known as "cathedrals of consumerism".

Seit der Jahrhundertwende unterhielten die namhaften Warenhäuser mondän eingerichtete Modesalons - gleichsam als "shop im shop", in denen das so genannte Modellgenre - der Pariser Haute Couture vergleichbar - in exklusiven Modenschauen darboten und auch bei ausländischen Einkäufern gefragt war. [G] Around the turn of the century all major department stores maintained swankily appointed fashion salons, not unlike today's "shop-in-shop" concept, where the models, similar to Parisian haute couture, were presented in exclusive fashion shows and were in strong demand from German and foreign buyers alike.

The example sentences [G] were kindly provided by the Goethe Institute.
