What's Inside About the Item New York loves a spectacle, and come holiday season one of the best in town is the
elaborate windows at Bergdorf Goodman that attract thousands of New Yorkers and visitors every year. The
anticipation is sustained year-round by innovative window displays that do far more than herald the changing winds of
fashion.
Bergdorf Goodman windows are legendary for their artistry, detail, smart references, and sly visual jokes. Who
could forget the Dada-inspired upside-down display in summer 2006, or the extraordinary white paper-sculpture
dreamscape from holiday 2000? The surreal worlds conjured behind the glass are as varied and fully realized as
a three-ring traveling circus, a Louis XIV confectionary, and an Edwardian portrait sitting—artistic visions created
by the Visual Department of Bergdorf Goodman.
Like the best advertising and the best art, the windows’ statements are nothing if not memorable. Says the store’s
director of visual presentation, David Hoey, “We’re drawn to extremes here. Minimalism is great. Maximalism
too. What we avoid is medium-ism.” This volume presents the best of the past decade of memorable tableaux,
sidewalk shadow boxes, you could say, in a covetable collector’s edition.Press Harper’s Bazaar (Greece) – March 1, 2013Click to read printed article Elle Style (Greece) – "11th Bergdorf Goodman", March 11, 2013 Click to read printed article WWD –“Book’Em”, December 2012 Click to read printed article The Wild Magazine – “Windows at Bergdorf Goodman: Special Edition”, September 2012 Click to read The Society Chronicles – Windows at Bergdorf Goodman (Special Edition), September 2012 Click to view printed article The Society Diaries – Windows at Bergdorf Goodman (Special Edition), September 2012 Click to view printed article Brilliant Magazine – Windows at Bergdorf Goodman (Special Edition), September 2012 Click to view printed article You May Also Like... | Sign up for our Newsletter for special offers and news! |
