Bloomingdale's Holiday Window Display 2008

In 2008, Bloomingdale’s Lexington Avenue flagship store, Tony Bennett’s new holiday album (with Count Basie Big Band),  “A Swingin’ Christmas,” is the inspiration for the 12 window displays



Mural artist Vicki Khuzami collaborated with a team from Bloomingdale’s to interpret the songs visually. Her paintings were transformed into retro-style moving cut-outs. The whimsical illustrations are very Normal Rockwell-esque, which was probably intentional after seeing the album cover for Tony Bennett's “A Swingin' Christmas.”


"Influenced by the advertising culture of the 1950's, Khuzami Studio created "pop-up book style" miniature scale models for each window. Templates were created and then fabricated by the experienced craftsmen at the Bloomingdale's carpentry shop and Khuzami's inhouse carpenter..." —via Khuzami Studio
