On November 16th, Nadja Swarovski and Linda Fargo, hosted the “brilliant” holiday partnership between Bergdorf Goodman and Swarovski. Before the cocktail reception, the iconic Bergdorf’s holiday windows were revealed. They all included colorful Swarovski crystals as their principal material to intricately adorn the classic pieces.

The partnership commemorates the 120 anniversary of the Austrian crystal company. Not only were the windows decorated with over seven million Swarovski crystals but throughout the store, one could see special décor installations and collaborations. On the third floor we saw the Swarovski Crystal Palace designs by Tord Boontje, Yves Béhar, and D.B. Kim, as well as stunning sparkly dresses by Versace, Badgley Mischka, Alice + Olivia, Alexandra Vidal and others. The Swarovski décor installations on the 3rd and 7th floors will be on display until mid-January.
A fun moment was when legendary NY Times photographer, Bill Cunningham took photos of Iris Apfel. Everyone on the scene watched in awe.
