Bergdof Goodman: Carnival of the Animals
I decided to do a little google image odyssey for holiday window displays in NYC, since some of them tend to be very elaborate and fantastical. I came across the Carnival of the Animals series at Bergdof Goodman.
Each window features a specific material that depicts animals you’ll find from icebergs to the tropics—but rarely on Fifth Avenue.
Now, even for those like myself who have pretty much NO interest in highbrow fashion, the outstanding artistry in these window displays trumps many of the gallery installations I’ve seen.
I do hope to walk by in person before they disappear on January 15th so I may immerse myself in each tableau up close.
See some extra closeups and a few snippets of info here.

These are exquisite! So are these shop windows facing out to the road? After seeing these, I can’t help but feel that going inside would be a little disappointing.

I believe they are facing the street. I’m sure I could get lost in these displays for quite sometime, while never experiencing the slightest urge to actually enter the store (it’s just collections of very overpriced designers…I prefer not to pay $100 for a T-shirt!).

I had a copy of this on a V-Disc. The V-Disc version was, narulatly, longer, and it was with his Sextet. It was also a bit slower and more swing than drive. I no longer have any of my V-Discs, but i did record it to a metal cassette with Dolby C using my Rek-o-Kut Rondine about 25 years ago. If I can locate it (my cassette library is currently in disarray), I’ll at least post a video of that.
