NYC Holiday Windows More Experiential Than Ever

You don't have to be a shop-a-holic to love the incredible holiday-themed windows at Manhattan's top department stores. Most notably, The Great Gatsby Director Baz Luhrmann  Barney's department store to create the Baz Dazzled Holiday winter initiative.

Barneys annually collaborates with artists to create the store's festive window displays and Christmas concept, and Luhrmann's in-store additions will include winter fantasy characters, woodland creatures, ice skaters, snow owls and candy canes. Luhrmann has even included a break-dancing elf!

Here are a few of our favorite pictures that also include Bloomingdale's and Macy's.
