Michael Kors will take over the window displays at Bergdorf Goodman.
Bergdorf's has also booked Audrianna Cole and The Blue Vipers of Brooklyn for live performances, and planning to send top American designers (like Joseph Altuzarra, Reem Acra, Pamella Roland and Bibhu Mohapatra) to stroll down the runway with their dogs.
