-WEDNESDAY WINDOWS-

 Baz Dazzled; Barney's Holiday Windows by Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin at Barneys, Madison Ave.

With tragic tales transpiring over the last week, Barney's front façade bears a fitting banner, reminding viewers that "A life lived in fear is a life half lived." As unveiled last week, the Great Gatsby's design duo Baz Luhrmann and wife Catherine Martin beautify Barney's New York with energizing extravagance. Add merry melodies and ancillary animation to an arts-inspired theme and marvel with awe at a moving menagerie of metal, sensational sculptures and oversized opulence in the store's windows. Keep reading for a first look at this year's holiday windows.... 

 "Love"--Remember the days of mixtapes and boomboxes? 

Experience magic in motion at Barney's (61st St. and Madison Ave.) with live performances Monday through Thursday from 3-7PM, Friday and Saturday from 2-7PM and Sunday from noon to 4PM. If you catch a chill, step inside and shop the Baz Dazzled Holiday collection which contains a wide range of kid novelties, adult oddities and home furnishings--including a $785 champagne saber! To spread holiday cheer, Barneys will donate 25% of Baz Dazzled Holiday collection sales to Room to Read, an organization promoting literacy and education.
