Why listen to me talk about art when you can look at windows from Bergdorf Goodman on 5th and 58th in New York City? Their theme this year is “Inspired” and their windows revolve around the arts.

| The music window is everything you want from New York–brash, bubbly, shiny. |

| And it wouldn’t be New York without Broadway. |
“We decided to base each window on a major art form, drawing equally from the fine arts, performing arts and applied arts. For our main windows, we settled on literature, architecture, theater, painting, music, dance, sculpture and film. Each window would be designed independently from the others. Each would be made from its own set of materials. But the entire set of windows would constitute a sort of eight-lesson course in art appreciation,” the store announced on its blog.

More than 100 artists and display artisans contributed to the windows, which take the store nearly a full year to finish.

| The movies… |
Happy holidays!
