The Making of a Holiday Window

For the department store's annual holiday window displays, Bergdorf Goodman is highlighting the different arts, one in each window. There's literature, sculpture, and painting, among others, but a highlight – and the focus of the Times' short film – is the architecture window. Intricate paper models of buildings, architectural elements, tools and even animals – all in blue tones and recalling the 19th century in their details – fill the windows. The three-minute film reveals the process behind making the cutouts and composing them into the final result.
