In a prestigious ceremony held at the iconic Ritz Paris, Neiman Marcus Group (NMG) celebrated the brilliance of luxury fashion by honoring Maria Grazia Chiuri, Daniel Roseberry, and Simon Porte Jacquemus with the 2024 Neiman Marcus Awards. The event, marking the second year of the revitalized awards, gathered the industry’s most influential figures to kick off a year of exclusive customer programming in collaboration with the awarded fashion luminaries.
The Neiman Marcus Awards, a tradition that extends over eighty years, underscores NMG’s enduring legacy in fostering brand growth and connecting global creative talents with the American luxury market. Geoffroy van Raemdonck, NMG’s CEO, highlighted the awards’ role in revolutionizing luxury experiences through Neiman Marcus’ unique blend of merchandising and marketing expertise, which last year propelled the award recipients to witness significant sales growth.
This year’s honorees, recognized for their contributions to fashion innovation and creativity, will join the ranks of over 150 fashion legends since the award’s inception by founders Stanley Marcus and Carrie Marcus Neiman in 1938. The awards underscore the ongoing relevance of Neiman Marcus as a platform for celebrating and promoting brand partners committed to innovative retail strategies aimed at enchanting the luxury consumer in the United States.
The ceremony also set the stage for unique brand expressions and immersive experiences as part of Neiman Marcus’ “Retail-tainment” strategy, enhancing customer engagement across its integrated retail channels. A special tribute to this year’s awardees will light up the NASDAQ screens in Times Square, while NMG’s associates share their appreciation for the collaboration with the honored brands.

In its commitment to nurturing future industry leaders, Neiman Marcus announced an expansion of its partnership with the Fashion Scholarship Fund, planning mentoring sessions with this year’s awardees for scholars and alumni, thereby reinforcing its mission to make life extraordinary for its luxury customers and brand partners alike.
