Every year around the holidays towns and cities all across the country get decked out in glitz and sparkle an nowhere does it bigger and better than New York City. Both tourists and locals, whether you admit it or not, look forward to the unveiling of the department store windows. Sometimes they disappoint or confound, but this year I can promise that Bergdorf Goodman's displays are stunning and worth the trek and the crowds to see them.
Each season themes window is extravagantly layered in crystal shimmering shades of white luxury with a surreal twist. Ostriches, peacocks and other birds flock around a feathered dressed lady for “Spring”, “Autumn” finds a demure mannequin atop a paper moon with the cosmos spinning behind her frothy dress, stacks of tantalizing pastries and cakes surround a bejeweled gown for the Holidays, in one of my favorite bits, a world of sea life frolics beneath a super fun mini dress of fringe and bows, and somewhere along the way a lady has the head of a bird.
Sadly my own photos came out pretty poorly because I was there during the day and all I could get were reflections, but among many, this flickr photographer has a great night time set for you to take a look at, though nothing beats seeing it in person.
But what do you think?
