Bergdorf Goodman's 5th at 58th site says this Christmas display in the BG Follies of 2012 series "showcases a collection of mid-century miniature American mannequins once used for display and merchandising, as well as for sewing practice. David spends months (if not years) building up these collections until the time is right, and this was the year to debut his miniature mannequins as 1920s Ziegfeld Follies girls on fifteen miniature stage reproductions made from replica 18th-Century wood moulding."

This window is so difficult to shoot in the daytime; pedestrians kept flinging themselves in front of me and at me.

Bergdorf Goodman's 5th at 58th site says this Christmas display in the BG Follies of 2012 series "is the result of an idea brewing over the past year: a giant mirrored, rotating kaleidoscope. Prototypes were sketched and developed until the team discovered that beveled mirrors moving in both clockwise and counterclockwise movement created the best result. Approximately 1,000 individually beveled mirrors were used to create this kaleidoscope set into motion by 7 separate rotating motors. The effect should be dizzying, psychedelic… an homage to Busby Berkeley’s overhead kaleidoscopic camera shot seen in Footlight Parade."
