David Hoey and his team at Bergdorf Goodman are serving up an array of visual treats for their winter window displays. The theme this time is "Curiouser and Curiouser," with displays inspired by the works of Lewis Carroll. What most people don't realize is that the project takes upwards of a year to conceive and execute, and the windows themselves take six months to produce.
"The fashion that eventually goes into the window is not decided upon when we land on a theme," explained Hoey. "First, we choose an idea and stick with it. The further along in the year we get, we start looking at the runway shows and hope we can find things to fit our theme. Miraculously, we always luck out!" McQueen, will go in the card game room, featured alongside kings and jokers.
"The wooden staircase room" resembles a jigsaw puzzle pieced together with delicate staircases from a bevy of dollhouses, which took a year and a half to collect, scouring all corners of the world from tiny antique stores to eBay.
If you'd like to venture into the other side of the looking glass, The Bergdorf windows will be on display starting today- Friday, November 20th until January 6th.
