In collaboration with the Bergdorf Goodman visual team, the windows were brought to life in an enchanted garden of topiaries under lavender lit chandeliers and billowing clouds. Guests danced to the music of Rubix Kube and DJ Chelsea Leyland, and some stepped into a life sized window to strike a pose that was shared on Tumblr. The evening was topped off with all of the designers singing “Happy Birthday” led by vocalist, Sasha Lazard.

This Fall, Bergdorf Goodman celebrates its 111th Anniversary with a series of exciting projects, including a documentary film, Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s, and a book, that draws out the magic of an institution that has seduced for more than a century. This is the first time Bergdorf Goodman has marked its birthday since 1951. The momentous occasion is a storewide celebration including windows with archival imagery from the store’s history, an exclusive merchandise collection and special events.

In addition, more than 100 designers created items for an exclusive anniversary collection including ready-to-wear, accessories, shoes, handbags, decorative home items and a fragrance. Highlights include a one-of-a-kind Alexander McQueen ruched velvet dress, Christian Louboutin pyramid-studded platforms, evening looks from Oscar de la Renta and Akris, and an exclusive eau de parfum called “754” from Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
