Bergdorf Goodman Brings Posh Steampunk To Its Windows

Elegant NYC department store Bergdorf Goodman rang in the new year with a set of elaborate, Steampunk-inspired windows.  The gorgeous clothes are framed in dramatic scenes of science fiction-tinged travel fantasies, inventors and exploration.  The 'wizard' behind the displays is David Hoey.  Some of the fashion designers featured include Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, Dries Van Noten and Naeem Khan among others...

Fashion blogger Aneta Genova took an extensive collection of photos and posted them on her blog, Bobbin Talk.  Her blog is a great resource for and about new designers.  

Gothic Haute Gypsy for Oscar de la Renta's Pre-Fall 2010 Show

Did you enjoy the holidays my sweethearts? I know I did. I have had enough of the cold and am ready to see some pretty, colorful things. Oscar de la Renta, the classic American fashion designer (who has dressed many a Hollywood star and multiple First Ladies) presented a darker, dramatic collection for 2010. While I have come to expect gorgeous laces and embroideries, I did not expect the fierce dark eyes and moody, romantic silhouettes. The striking red flowers in the high swept hair were played against dark fairy tale dresses. It was the look of a Gothic princess who had survived the worst and was now determined to show how beautifully strong she was because of it.
