The much-anticipated Barneys New York holiday window display this year, Haas for the Holidays, is a collaboration with artists Simon and Nikolai Haas of The Haas Brothers, represented by R & Company. It celebrates inclusion in part by bringing diverse characters to life with Christie LED Displays.

“The holiday season is always a special time for us at Barneys New York,” says Daniella Vitale, CEO and president, Barneys New York, in a press release.

“This year especially, we can’t wait for customers to take part in the engaging one-of-a-kind experiences we’re delivering with Haas for the Holidays, both within our stores and in our windows.”

Haas for the Holidays creates an imaginative universe.

Opened on November 16, Barneys New York’s Madison Avenue window displays entertain viewers with the positive message of Haas for the Holidays’ interpretation of the Earth through the ages, with Haas animations and characters coexisting through eras from the beginning of the earth to the distant future, according to the press release.

Barneys goes on to credit Christie and it its “advanced LED displays” with bringing the windows to live, creating a living background with characters and a day-to-night animation across all four windows.

According to Christie, the Barneys New York holiday windows feature Christie Merit LED displays.

In being part of the Haas for the Holidays collaboration, Christie LED joins Barneys in aiming to spread a positive message with its holiday window display.

Barneys New York is spreading that message via social media with its #HaasRules campaign “featuring positive and inspirational sentiments.”

From Barneys press release on #HaasRules:

Starting on November 16, #HaasRules will encourage followers to share a photo of themselves within a Barneys New York #HaasRules environment, or from anywhere sharing their own Haas rule.

With each post with the #HaasRules hashtag, the Barneys New York Foundation is pleased to raise awareness and provide a $5 donation for Children’s Defense Fund (CDF). #HaasRules will continue through January 1, 2018.
