Roving Reporter: Bergdorf Windows

The other morning at work I suddenly got an email from my sister entitled: "Bergdorf Window Pics for U!". All at once, my inbox started to flood with an array of frosty-toned, elegantly urban, and downright surreal images of snow queens, vintage-looking oddities, and frozen curiosities.

These images made me think a few things, the first being that my sister was shopping on upper Fifth Avenue without me. Ahem. The second was that those Bergdorf folks have the coolest jobs ever. It's like they said "hey, we don't really have any ideas this month, so let's just do a dreamy thing of white and ivory and every piece of crazy shit we can find...and then let's spray paint it all white and silver and icy-looking...we totally have budget for this!" The third thought was: "why doesn't anyone do a photo blog of nothing but the different Bergdorf windows? How cool would that be?!?! They're always so inspiring - I'd love to get a regular dose.

Then, once the shock wore off, I realized how cool the pictures were in their own right. The reflections of the people window shopping, the architectural elements, and even the buildings across the way are all there. The weirdness of the windows seems to be balanced by the pace of the city.

I'm thinking my sister should do a somewhat-regular recurring "Roving Reporter" feature on here of different window shopping excursions...what do you think?

I loved the Bergdorf windows this year.

well, wow! Thank you iphone for your conveniently available, and apparently not-too-shabby picture-taking capabilities. I will see if I can take more lovely snaps for my dear sis ms. p&c, and all her readers, during future shopping excursions. But I think that day was particularly beautiful, and the light was hitting the windows are just the right angle, so equaling this photographic feat will be unlikely.

I love holiday windows! Bergdorf's are always nice, and I like Barney's a lot too. So crazy!

Bergdorf really comes up with new and fascinating collections that they display on their windows, I just love seeing those lovely displays..... hopefully I can afford one in the future..

I'm just stumbling across these beauties now. These shots bring us into that singular, NYC experience of standing on the street, gazing at Bergdorf's window displays in silent awe while traffic, honking horns, bus brakes and bike messenger whistles blow past behind our backs. Lovely post :)
