The Concept: The Bergdorf Goodman team linked up with Swarovski, celebrating its own 120th anniversary, to create truly spectacular crystal-embellished windows. Its concept is titled "Brilliant," in honor of the newly renovated jewelry area on the store's ground floor. Each of Bergdorf Goodman's windows has a shimmering tableau, including "Crown Jewels," "Crystal Ball," and "Treasure Chest." The Swarovski and Bergdorf partnership extends beyond windows, with the retailer offering a number of crystal-covered holiday decor and gifts for sale inside.
The struggle: Apparently, literally millions of Swarovski crystals were used in the installation. That's a lot of tiny pieces, fumbling fingers, and glue.
The verdict: Designer Wes Gordon said it best when he dubbed the windows "incredible" in a tweet.
