Window display blog Modelizing knocks it out of the park with two excellent back-to-back posts of Bergdorf Goodman photos. Right now, Bergdorf is all about celebrating maps and calendars—call it an ode to utility, or maybe a eulogy for those items now that they've been pretty much replaced by Google and the App store. In one window, leather bags from Louis Vuitton and Fendi share space with a map of Italy. In another series, mannequins represent the months of the year, with a naked dummy holding a pie over his nether regions standing in for a surprisingly raunchy Fourth of July.
But the best part of the current display is a prop that's awesome not because it's useful but because it's so gleefully useless: A giant puffy blue cactus. It looks great next to the coats, but we feel like it might look great anywhere. First the Barneys shark, now this—it's a good month for adorable blue window decorations.
