Exploring the unique allure of New York department store Bergdorf Goodman, Matthew Miele’s sleek but scattered documentary is mostly pretty wrapping on a slim package.

Packed with interviews with everyone from Karl Lagerfield to Joan Rivers, it can’t winkle anything out of them except that the place is fashion heaven.

Once-upon-a-time tales about Elizabeth Taylor ordering 200 pairs of mink earmuffs, or Yoko Ono’s Christmas Eve $400,000 furs-splurge, can’t compensate for a lacklustre storyline about the famously intricate Chrimbo shop windows.
