Manhattan - Bergdorff Imaginarium

A fanciful window display in another Bergdorff & Goodman window. This one just across the street from the bottom of Central Park.

 

High end fashion fantasy glaringly calls to the structural enormity all around it. It's candy coloured world blending with the impassivity before it. Both worlds fuse through the medium of reflection. The window facilitates simultaneous worlds.

Music Link: "Beauty Queen" - Roxy Music, from their album "For Your Pleasure". The early 70's Roxy Music incarnation was a much more openly experimental and avant grade band than the slick, richly produced form they took in the 80's and beyond. They blindsided the music world with their shockingly brilliant combination of high fashion kitsch, 50's nostalgia and futuristic electronic aesthetics. They were the children of Pop Art and were artistically sophisticated enough to blend both High and Low art into one fantastic sound that no one, including the band and its members, have ever equalled since.

 

"Beauty Queen" seemed a nice touch to the image for it's slick Romanticism and it's Futuristic sonic picture.
