...Bergdorfs as only Howard Slatkin can do it.
Howard Slatkin's much anticipated book FIFTH AVENUE STYLE premiered at Bergdorf Goodman's-in the window, and on the Seventh Floor of Bergdorfs Thursday night,October 17th. Though I couldn't join his stellar hosts-Deborah Needleman & Deeda Blair, Howard sent me these fantastic photographs of "How FIFTH AVENUE STYLE Looks"-on Fifth Avenue.
I'll share more about the book in the coming weeks-a special signed copy of the book for some lucky reader, a story about the book, and an interview with Howard.
The window is as smashing-as the book, and Howard tells me the work and design of this small window is much involved. It's obvious-but this is the same detail you'll find in the book. Howard credits the success of the finished window to artist Alexander "Sasha" Solodukho-whose work is also seen in the book.

Despite the never ending praise for the windows at Barney's, they don't compare -- in my opinion -- to Bergdorf's. And Slatkin's window illustrates the point.
ReplyDeleteBergdorf is the destination for me!
DeleteBest windows are Bergdorf's. The. Best.
ReplyDeleteYES, I love to window shop-right on Fifth is the best. pgt
DeleteHow wonderful that your opinion is respected so, even on FIFTH AVENUE...I read your words for that unerring taste level!
ReplyDeleteI agree with John of THE DEVOTED CLASSICIST...Bergdorf is the ultimate. Just cancelled my long overdue preorder on Amazon - take that Jeff Bezos who killed the bookstores!
The Bergdorf boxed book looks wonderful doesn't it- The text is really delightful, HS speaks with authority, and great wit-words are so appreciated in today's design book pages. pgt
DeleteI am scrolling up and down to take in all the details of this window. I admire your creativity and your ability to make associations across all the design, art, and history fields. Also, glad you will write more about Howard Slatkin in future posts. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered when they decorate those windows. As hard as I tried when I lived in NYC, I could never catch them at it! Sorry I won't be there to see them this Fall but looking forward to the book.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great window. I'm heading out to NY the Saturday before Thanksgiving and I hope this will still be intact when I get there. All I know is that this fall is turning out to be the best book season in the last few years. --Magnaverde.
