Christian Dior Store (LVMH Tower) on 57th between Fifth Avenue and Madison (architect Christian de Portzamparc, 1995-1999) put up a scaffold and covered it with a giant handbag -- very elegant. I didn't have my Canon but the twilight glow was perfect, and I couldn't resist snapping it with my Blackberry.
When I first saw the photo, I was like "Can you go in there?", but, a-ha!, it's a cover for the scaffolding! Lovely idea.
