Hi friends, welcome back! I’m starting my NYC holiday tour at the first spot I visited this season, Bloomingdales! They are collaborating with Burberry this year for a “Happy Together” campaign showcasing “a heartfelt celebration of connection, tradition, and the wonder of shared moments.”. The windows are also consistent with Burberrys “Twas the Knight Before” holiday campaign. The windows were unveiled November 19th and are usually up through New Years. I enjoyed how each window had a little story to set the scene. As a cherry on top, the exterior on Lexington Avenue features a large Burberry Scarf made of 126,000 lights.
“’Twas the night before, beneath a soft, new snow, Where boots left prints in a warm, golden glow. The wreath on the door was grand and bright, Manmade with care by the noble Knight. Cranberry sprigs in merry arrays, Welcomed the magic of the holidays.”
“Inside they worked through the twinkling night, Preparing to charm the littlest knights. The scent of gingerbread filled the air, As laughter and sparkle danced everywhere. Tangles of lights and ribbons so neat, Trimmed every corner in holiday sweet.”
“The crackling fire hummed soft and low, Then a shimmer of red began to glow. Velvet and joy filled the cozy room – Music and magic banished all gloom. With piano and strings so bright and clear, The Knights all knew who soon was near”
“Through swirling snow their travels were done, Home again under moon and sun. Gifts in check and ribbons of gold, Told happy tales of warmth retold. Their noble pup tagged as friends drew near- Happy Together,” echoed the cheer.”
At Burberry’s flagship store on 57th Street they had ‘Twas the Knight Before theme.
I thought the themes were clever and I enjoyed the windows this year. I also enjoyed that it was a cohesive story. Bloomingdales usually has somewhat creepy looking mannequins so I liked these knights. What do you think of Bloomingdales windows this year?
