New York\u2019s holiday windows are back, baby! And they\u2019re better, shinier and brighter than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be a Thanksgiving and a holiday season like no other,\u201d said the perennially sunny Linda Fargo, Senior Vice President of fashion at Bergdorf Goodman, adding she was ready to savor every festive moment after last year\u2019s COVID-burdened holiday season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve noticed that the city lights seem to sparkle and glow more,\u201d Fargo said. \u201cDinners with friends feel warmer and more satisfying. It\u2019s a treat for tired eyes to see people dressing up again. There\u2019s a palpable energy around us, which it feels good to just be a part of. It\u2019s great to see our resilient city getting its mojo back!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Midtown was actually beginning to look a lot like Christmas this week. Tourists gaped at a mannequin in a sequined mermaid dress astride a bedazzled purple motorcycle behind Bergdorf\u2019s glass. At Macy\u2019s a group of enchanted children stopped to pat the nose of a cartoonish reindeer on display. And outside Bloomingdale\u2019s passersby stopped in their tracks to marvel at a rad skateboard-riding T-rex.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s everybody\u2019s favorite,\u201d said Bloomie\u2019s Vice President of Visual Merchandising and Windows, John Klimkowski, of the dinosaur, which was inspired by his favorite holiday present from childhood. <\/p>\n

This year, Klimkowski asked his team for some of their own joyful holiday memories, and set out to bring some of their most cherished gifts to life, from a ballerina-spinning jewelry box to a collection of hand-knit sweaters from Mom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe objective was to create a group of windows that told happ<\/a>y stories that meant to bring out the child in all of us with memories of the holidays,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Saks channeled that childlike wonder in their windows \u2014 asking actual kiddos for their input.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly on, we realized that this holiday season would be about reconnecting with friends, family and loved ones, and we wanted to bring that idea to life in the windows in an inspiring way,\u201d said Andrew Winton, SVP, Creative at Saks Fifth Avenue. \u201cBut [we] realized that kids could probably provide much more imaginative ideas about the holidays than we could. We started talking to kids around New York City and having them draw their dream holiday scenarios \u2014 where they\u2019d go, who they\u2019d go with, and what they\u2019d do there \u2014 and then took these drawings and turned them into massive, artful installations in our windows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fargo said the annual tradition is all about encouraging people to find the sparkle and beauty in life. \u201cAppreciating the present moment,\u201d she explained, \u201cwhere every healthy, delicious and happy moment is a gift and a present.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bergdorf Goodman celebrates \u201cthe present moment,\u201d inspired by \u201cthe spirit of freedom, abandon and adventure.\u201d The luxe store\u2019s famously extravagant displays burst with exquisite details: an apartment building with whimsical paper rooms and stuffed fabric cats and mice posed among a maze of skyscrapers; a mannequin in a gold brocade dress dancing atop a moon in deep space; and all manner of painted insects and birds. Inside, \u201cBergdorf Goods,\u201d a specialty pop-up shop, offers an extra dose of magic, with custom NYC-themed merch, like a Sardi\u2019s-logo sweater from Michael Kors and a gem-encrusted hot dog clutch from Judith Leiber.\u00a0754 Fifth Ave., at 58th Street<\/em><\/p>\n

Saks Fifth Avenue\u2019s windows focus on reconnecting with family this holiday season \u2014 after the pandemic kept so many loved ones apart last year. The design team polled NYC kids, including members of the Madison Square Boys & Girls Club, asking them to draw their dream holiday, and the windows re-create their illustrations \u2014 featuring cartoonish carnival rides, a video game<\/a> come to life and a tropical getaway, done in bright, playful colors and hand-sculpted structures. At night, passersby can once again see the store\u2019s dazzling annual light show, featuring 700,000 twinkling LED lights spanning the building\u2019s 10-story facade.

Macy\u2019s delightful moving windows tell the story of Tiptoe, \u201ca bright-eyed reindeer\u201d who dreams of joining Santa\u2019s sleigh team to \u201cdeliver magic around the world on Christmas Eve.\u201d The displays show the red-nosed Tiptoe going to flight school, and learning to soar with the help of her arctic pals, including a scarf-donning polar bear, perky penguin and a pair of mouse friends. 34th Street at Herald Square<\/em><\/p>\n

This year, Bloomie\u2019s gives an extra dose of cheer and optimism with its colorful, over-the-top windows celebrating the store\u2019s \u201cGive Happy\u201d campaign. The windows bring to life staffers\u2019 favorite childhood memories, such as spending Christmas morning playing with their new toys. A penguin family dressed in stylish scarves have a bevy of retro video games under their tree, a mannequin rides a T-rex with a Christmas tree body and a pair of mannequins in vibrant knits snuggle on a crochet loveseat in an explosion of yarn \u2014 a tribute to one staffer\u2019s memories of the ugly Christmas sweaters his mom knit for him every year.
