more windows

This year Bergdorf Goodman took on ICE as their running theme throughout the holiday windows.  The fabricated icicles look real, and even slightly wet, and must have been a huge project.  Frosty finishes might have been easier, but BG always goes the extra mile with amazing detail.  Their icy items are clear – amazing.  Halloween was my favorite – with the actual BG building as the main star, formerly a Vanderbilt mansion.  If you visit their blog, you can read more about the festivities of opening night, where they actually had a 'reveal' celebration of pulling back the curtain, with aerial acrobats descending the facade of the building.  Finally!  I love to see that they've claimed the event as an EVENT. 

The large and perfect photos I'm presenting here have been borrowed from the BG blog – credits to Ricky Zehavi.  I always wondered how she was able to get non-glare, non-skewed, stellar photos of the full windows.  Details about how she does it are shared HERE

    Michelle, I have “photo envy”! Your photos of the Windows are wonderful….and are made even BETTER with your always-spot-on layout and type choices. We loved the choice of “Holidays on Ice” this year, and savored all those uncanny/ice-like props and accessories. The smaller windows totally rocked it this year — I couldn’t pry myself away. Brava to you for a great “tour”!
