Hi friends, welcome back! Today I’m sharing Bergdorf’s holiday windows, and I always think they have the most unique and artistic displays of all the department stores. This years theme is “The Bergdorf Soiree” depicting “an ode to the city’s one-of-a-kind glamour during the festive season. Designed with clients in mind, the campaign embraces the elegance of “getting-ready moments,” champagne toasts with loved ones and the unforgettable fashion statements that define the thrill of a holiday evening in New York City” per their press release. I can’t say I’ve been to a holiday party that looks anything like what’s depicted in the windows, but I think they did a great job! Each window has so many intricate details, dimensions, and objects, but it somehow looks seamless. They say it takes 6,500 hours to create the windows and another 2,000 to install! I found some descriptions of the different scenes on Bergdorf’s Instagram:
“A Mad Hatter’s Bash,” a whimsical after-hours takeover featuring partygoers in sculptural hats—including one inspired by our famed chandelier.
“Masquerade Ball,” a surreal scene honoring creative professions—from poet to clockmaker—each character hidden behind an ornate disguise.
“Party Animals,” a jubilant cast of characters takes us on a fantastical birthday field trip
“Holiday Glow Up,” an exuberantly illuminated holiday block party.
“New Year’s Eve Countdown,” a dazzling mosaic of clocks, crystals, and movement celebrating the year’s final, electric moments.
There are little windows in between the main displays that are dripping in diamonds and designer pieces.
The windows on 58th Street give a little preview of what’s to come. They seem to always have an incredible gingerbread house in this window.
Across Fifth Avenue the men’s store has some festive scenes that are more realistic, but equally fun.
What do you think of Bergdorf’s holiday windows this year? I always enjoy their windows and can only imagine how much work went into them. The displays will be up until January 5th, 2026 if you find yourself in the city.
