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:

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https://www.dtm.wix2wp.site/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_0947-e1542302670969-1.jpeg” alt=”Elisabeth Holder with Raberin and Celine Kaplan at the Bergdorf Goodman 2018 Holiday Window Display” title_text=”Elisabeth Holder with Raberin and Celine Kaplan ” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”on” overlay_icon_color=”#e09900″ hover_icon=”%%15%%” animation=”off” sticky=”on” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

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.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: GEORGINE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCYfCCZYt_c

For Spring/Summer 2017, Georgine Ratelband — designer of GEORGINE — was inspired by the type of girl who shops at both Bergdorf Goodman and Trash & Vaudeville.

“I think it is a more interesting concept of dressing, one where luxury goods coexist with rock t-shirts, intricate couture beading meets motorcycle jackets, and lightweight furs are punctuated by combat boots,” remarked Ratelband.

She also drew inspiration from the way that young women always pilfer the closets of their mothers, and how they would wear more classic pieces, but with their own twist put on it. Specifically, Frances Bean Cobain and Zoe Kravitz — who both have mothers with the most incredible closets — came to mind for Ratelband when designing this collection.

Women of Distinction Honored at CCFA Luncheon

_MG_1747

Taylor Sinett, author of the children’s book, Weasel On The Easel.

Nearly one in every 200 Americans have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s Disease.

To call attention to that grim reality and to people who have overcome their own battles to help support research for treatment and a cure, the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America held its 21st Annual Women of Distinction Luncheon in the Waldorf Astoria Grand Ballroom.

The gala event was hosted by WABC-TV news anchor Liz Cho, and featured a fashion show presented by Bergdorf Goodman, which included the 2014 Evening Collections of Elie Saab, Marchesa and Monique Lhullier.

_MG_1808

Taylor Sinett’s first book, Weasel On The Easel was on display at the luncheon.

One of the luncheon’s special honorees was 14-year-old Taylor Sinett, from Sands Point, New York, who was selected as this year’s “Rising Star” for her first published book, Weasel On The Easel. The children’s book focuses on the the story of a weasel, named Fredda, who is able to reach her wildest dreams no matter how many times she was told she couldn’t.

The book was inspired and initially intended for Sinett’s older cousin, Casey Mintz, 18, who was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the age of 11.

“Seeing her struggle so hard is just inspiring,” said the rising young writer. “I hope that those who read my book will find the strength that helps them overcome the disease and learn that you can conquer anything you set your mind to.”

Weasel On The Easel copies were on hand for sale alongside a silent bid at the luncheon. All of the proceeds were intended to benefit the CCFA organization.

Dr. Robbyn Sockolow,  awarded ¨Woman of Distinction in the Field of Medicine.¨

Another of the event’s inspirational honorees was Dr. Robbyn Sockolow who received the award for Woman of Distinction in Medicine for her work in the field of Internal Bowel Disorders (IBD).

Dr. Sockolow is the Director of Gastroenterology and Nutrition and Associate Attending Physician at the N.Y.-Presbyterian Phyllis and David Komansky/Weill Cornell Medical Center. She also happens to be Casey’s doctor.

“It is touching and emotional to be here today,” said Dr. Sockolow. “This organization not only helps people with bowel disorders; it helps the families of the ones affected. Since it’s a hereditary sickness, it becomes a family matter, and events like these help the public get a better idea of Crohn’s and Colitis and the struggle of our patients.”

Though IBD’s are concentrated in the digestive track, the disorders can be so debilitating that they affect many parts of the lives of those afflicted with them. Sometimes it takes carriers every ounce of strength they have to perform even the most basic tasks in their everyday lives.

“It takes away the hopes that these people have of ever achieving their goals, because they’re too afraid of leaving their homes,” said Sockolow. “And what this event does is encourage them to be who they are and not be ashamed of it in anyway.”

Over the years the CCFA has received more than $20 million in donations which have been directed into research. The New York Chapter Board President, Jeffrey Justin, expressed gratitude for that support. “The people who are present today, they recognize the seriousness of what we are doing,” he said. “With every dollar we are one step close to a cure. I won’t have to worry for any of my kids or grandkids suffering from Crohn’s.”

Justin was diagnosed with Crohn’s 25 years ago and suspects he might’ve had it 10 years before that. Once he heard about CCFA, he was compelled to get involved immediately. “To be part of this group of people is simply amazing.”

_MG_1923

A check for $25,000 is donated to the CCFA.

Accessories were sold to benefit CCFA research.

Regional Director of the CCFA, Rhondell Domilici, also offered words of encouragement. She too has suffered as a carrier of Crohn’s, since the age of 12. This is her third year participating as a staff member of the organization. Sh mentioned how important it is for younger sufferers to be open about their struggles and never feel shame for having it.

“You never know who does and doesn’t have it because they’re embarrassed to say so,” Domilici said. “I’ve had my ups and downs, but the truth is this disease can turn us into very strong people at the end of the day.”
