Take a virtual tour of New York Citys 2016 iconic holiday windows with Google’s Window Wonderland.
Ice skating bunny rabbits, Santas high tech command center, couture cotton candy dresses, the characters of South Park these are just some of the wonders awaiting visitors to New York Citys 2016 magical holiday window displays. Each year, more than 5 million people travel to Manhattan during the holiday season. Many of them brave the icy weather and chaotic holiday traffic to take in the displays lining Madison, Fifth Avenue and beyond. Using your smartphone or computer, Google provides a virtual tour of holiday windows from 18 stores, even if you cant make the trip in person.
Some windows let you enter a magical world: in Lord & Taylors Enchanted Forest, bunnies ice skate while raccoons fish on a frozen pond. Others are a chance to visit the museum such as Barneys, where artist Nick Cave takes on the issue of race and gender in sculpture. At Saks 5th Avenue, its runway meets holiday, where designers like Carolina Herrera, Marchesa and Jason Wu were commissioned to create bespoke couture gowns inspired by holiday treats like cotton candy, cake icing and peppermint sticks.
Google’s #WindowWonderland features displays from 17 stores: ABC Carpet and Home, American Girl, Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Burberry, Cartier, Fendi, Henri Bendel, Lord & Taylor, Louis Vuitton, Macy’s, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Saks Fifth Avenue, Tiffany & Co. and Tory Burch.
