Synopsis
It's the most mythic of all American emporiums and the scene of many an ultimate fashion fantasy. Now audiences get a rarified chance to peek behind the backroom doors and into the reality of the fascinating inner workings and fabulous untold stories from Bergdorf Goodman's iconic history. The legend, the parties, the fashion idols, the windows, the women, the buyers and shoppers -- and most of all, the quintessentially American dreams of New York's high-fashion hot-spot all come to life in an ode to a realm where creativity and commerce reign equally supreme. The 111-year history of Bergdorf Goodman mirrors Manhattan as the store comes of age. Miele traces the tale from the store's turn-of-the-century start to its transformation into a modern symbol of aspiration and style. But Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's also takes audiences deeper behind the scenes, into a world never seen, revealing the intriguing people and personalities who make the store tick ... and have made it a power player in the lives of the nation's movie stars, political figures and cultural elite. From fashion director Linda Fargo vetting young designers, to window decorator David Hoey forging the year's Christmas spectacle to personal shopper Betty Halbreich dressing the rich and famous, the film becomes a mesmerizing portrait of those who have the job of making dreams of divine glamour come true.
