Libertine at Bergdorf Goodman, NYC, February 04, 2014
Check out this smashing jacket on the runway, after the jump.
Around Town: Giorgio Armani
Necklace, Giorgio Armani; NYC, January 2014
From windows at the New York flagship. It's not clear whether the necklace is askew on the mannequin, or designed to be asymmetrical. I hope it's the latter.
Around Town: Louis Vuitton Windows
Louis Vuitton Windows, 57th and 5th, NYC. January 2014 (above and below)
The very cute tables are what caught my eye first. Like their December windows, LV is giving us another fantastic color palette.

Around Town: 2013 Holiday Displays
I often complain about my office location uptown on Fifth Ave because all of the business are stores that I'm not likely to to shop at much (I can't really say that I'm a regular at Chanel and Dior), however because this is the area of the fanciest stores' flagships, I am starting to develop a new interest in window dressing. All of the best, most creative, coolest displays go on up there, and during the holidays is when they ramp it up even more.
Below are some of the stores that started early this year.
Harry Winston (5th Ave at 56th St) - I love how the cornice is trimmed with emerald-cut lights and the tops of the windows are embellished with pear-shaped diamonds.
Tiffany & Co (5th Ave at 57th St) - In addition to the windows with mini-cityscapes, white and Tiffany blue decals of brownstones run up the entire building.
Cute geese at Louis Vuitton (5th Ave at 57th St).
Henri Bendel (5th Ave between 55th and 56th St) made 3D models of Al Hirschfeld's caricatures and brought them all together for a spirited holiday dinner. Hirschfeld's illustrations of Broadway stars and celebrities are classic New York all the way; he contributed to all of the major NYC publications for more than 70 years.
Around Town: Tony Viramontes at Bergdorf Goodman
For Fashion Week, Bergdorf Goodman's 5th avenue windows are featuring the works of one of my all-time favorite illustrators, Tony Viramontes.
Viramontes' fun, sexy, expressive style of fashion illustration was iconic during the 1980s, and it's a tragedy that he passed away much too soon into his career in 1988. He is the subject of the upcoming book Bold, Beautiful and Damned: The World of 1980s Fashion Illustrator Tony Viramontes by Dean Rhys-Morgan.
See some more of Viramontes' work that I have shared previously here.
