Friday Photo: Planes, Trains, and a Golden Pegasus

When it comes to holiday window displays, some stores go for wit, others for classic Christmas cheer, and a few just cover their usual merch with a dusting of faux snow and call it a (holi)day. Meanwhile, New York’s Bergdorf Goodman pulls out all the stops with windows that look like they sprung from the fever dreams of Salvador Dali after a luxury shopping spree. This year is no exception. The store’s 2010 windows are inspired by fantasy travel and feature modes of transport that range from an antique caboose (manned by a conductor in Oscar de la Renta) and well-stocked sailing ship to a gold and ivory wooden pegasus and a hot air balloon piloted by a team of dapper monkeys (here’s hoping it sparks a contemporary craze for singerie).
