Spring Windows
 |
The most seasonal store window in New York this week is not the kitschy giant mechanical bugs and birds flying though forests of neon azaleas at Macy's Herald Square (although that is definitely the most popular one), it's the 57th Street windows at Bergdorf Goodman, where the window-display elves have created a slight, gentle, yet poetic installation that captures all the promise of the growing season. Working from what look like good photocopies, the installers have taken decoupeed birds, fragments of botanical manuscripts, and old flower catalogs and pinned them informally on the backdrop of the display, as if it were a giant "idea" board. The windows are fresh and whimsical and make you long for nature, and oh yes--there are some pretty dresses there too.
