Bergdorf’s ramps up the charm with their gorgeously colorful windows featuring the work of Balloon artist, Jason Hackenwerth

I first came across Jason’s work in 2006 when he collaborated with Formavision on the ‘Dream of a Fisherman’s wife’ installation for the Diesel Denim gallery. Guests navigated a gallery literally teeming with fantastical sea creatures (you were practically climbing over and under them), with the wide eyed wonder usually reserved for kids.

While Bergdorf’s won’t let you get all up in their balloon art, their windows strike the same balance of fantasy and beauty. After all, isn’t that what a good shopping trip should be about?
