Last night the sweets and the very sweet were out for the premiere of Bergdorf Goodman’s 2018 Holiday Window display. This year David Hoey, Senior Director of Visual Presentation, says:

“This year our artistic team became faux-pastry chefs, dishing up a wall-to-wall profusion of sculpted confections. Everything candied, iced and lavish.”

Visitors will be delighted by an enchanting display of generous proportions. A dreamlike world filled with gilded treats, sugary inventions, and luscious sweets.

Bergdorf Goodman partners with Ladurée

This year Bergdorf Goodman has promised to sweeten their selection of gifts with exclusive dessert options from Flour Shop and Ladurée.

For the first time, Flour Shop will open a pop-up on the Fifth Floor of the iconic department store offering a unique Bergdorf Goodman inspired cake as well as some of their holiday favorites.

Linda Fargo, collaborated with Ladurée together they’ve created limited-edition flavors only available inside Noir on the Second Floor and Linda’s at BG on the Fourth Floor. There will also be a special holiday installation on the Third Floor by Ashley Longshore featuring her artwork along with a curated selection of product inspired by Bergdorf Goodies.

Elisabeth Holder, co-president of Ladurée, gives a Q&A

Last night was a sweet and luscious event at Bergdorf’s – I was lucky enough to catch up with a friend and owner of Ladurée Elisabeth Holder for a few questions on her recent work on the holiday window for Bergdorf Goodman:

Downtown Magazine: Tell us what it was like to be included?
Elisabeth Holder: I am so proud, as a French brand, to be part of the holiday window at Bergdorf’s, an iconic New York institution. It is an honor and a dream come true. To have this recognition feels very, very sweet indeed.

Downtown Magazine: how this came about?
Elisabeth Holder: Last year, Linda and Ladurée began their love story when Linda created her very own macaron (dark chocolate salted caramel in gold foil) as an exclusive for Linda’s Shop on the 4th Floor during the holidays. This season we expanded our collaboration as she opened her 2nd store-in-store called NOIR at BG, with of course another creation (dark chocolate expresso in silver foil.) The theme for the holiday windows is Candyland, so of course, Ladurée was a natural ask to participate.

Downtown Magazine: What do you hope to see from this wonderful partnership?
Elisabeth Holder: I love to see people finding the perfect gift to celebrate the holidays, it feels amazing and we hope this is only the beginning of Ladurée at BG. Linda is so creative, who knows… we have already started to talk about next year…

The Party Last Night

The who’s who of the Upper East Side came out to gaze and feast on champagne served with both savory and sweet bites.

Bergdorf’s Beautiful Zen

Bergdorf’s celebrated their Spring Beauty Preview on January 14th at the luxurious A. Lounge at AKA Central Park. They presented their exclusive collections through their “New Year’s Evolution: Elements of Beauty” 2015 Beauty Book. This book is considered the “road map to beauty breakthroughs,” says Felicia Walker Benson, BG Beauty Editor. Through highlighting products and gadgets that enhance, perfect, nourish and hydrate, natural beauty is ensured for this new year. The event was attended by Haley Newman, Nicola Harrison Ruiz, Alexandre Lahaye, and Anthony Bui. They were able to make beauty observations and capture the must-have products of 2015 in a breathtaking manner. Here is what Alexandre has to say:

So long, cakeface. Say hello to modern beauty! It’s not just about looking–but also being good. It’s s no longer a mundane ritual, but a moment of solace. Once reserved as Jamie Morris’s (from Kiehl’s) own private line of skincare, Retrouvé’s unisex assemblage of creams and serums are delectable; in particular a velvety vitamin C-rich Intensive Replenishing Facial Moisturizer that could rival any style of therapy. Other options seem at the forefront of technology: mimicking the biochemical processes found in amniotic fluid, Hourglass essentially re-engineers the skin cells of the face in sixty days and nights of ultrasonification. Beyond age remedies, beauty seems to be shifting towards a goal of true health and well-being, foregoing superficiality for an individualized, even spiritual ethos.

Derived from propolis–a chemical found in the lining of the beehive–Charlotte Tilbury’s lip scrub + treatment could rival any nectar of the gods. A makeup savant and confidente to a seemingly endless list of stars (Sienna Miller, Kristen Wiig, Amal Clooney at the recent Globes), Tilsbury’s magic touch manages to feel glamorous yet down to earth. Also noteworthy: a series of incredible facemasks, made from the same soil found on the beaches of Tilsbury’s native Ibiza; who doesn’t need a little probiotic jet set zest in their life?
