Macy’s Displays, Holiday Windows, and All Things Christmas

If you don’t have time to jet set to New York for the holidays, here’s a quick escape to storefront wonderland.

Macy’s is the long reigning royalty in the holiday window field. Make sure you click on the green “view thumbnails” button at this link to see all 40 snaps of streetside enchantment.

Anthropologie is the newly crowned prince of the fresh store displays. Check out a whole gallery on their Facebook page.

Bergdorf Goodman went for ornate detail. There’s more going on in their windows than all of New York City.

Sak’s Fifth Avenue’s windows have drawn inspiration from the children’s book, Who Makes the Snow, for two years in a row. Hats off to bubbles.

Bloomingdale’s held an event to unveil their 2011 windows, inspired by bags from Bloomingdale past.

Lord and Taylor released an online video so people around the world could watch the unveiling of their windows based on the question “What is Christmas made of?” You can click on thumbnails to see shots of windows OR See opening night and some of the voices behind the work here.
