About Us
NEIMAN MARCUS started with a family of dreamers with one vision: to bring the best fashion from around the world to Texas. Due to their determination and desire to revolutionize the luxury experience for American customers, our Southwestern roots have found global reach as the preeminent luxury retailer since their PURSUIT OF THE EXTRAORDINARY began in 1907. More than a century later, our founders’ vision is unwavering, still rich with MAGIC and their celebration of self-expression. Our never-ending QUEST FOR THE BEST continues as we strive to curate legendary designers and new, need-to-know names alongside our top-tier service for you, our customer.
The NEIMAN MARCUS Awards
Three decades after the dream of Neiman Marcus manifested, company cofounder Carrie Marcus Neiman and her nephew Stanley Marcus, son of co-founder Herbert Marcus, had another dream: to celebrate the brightest stars in fashion to continue connecting the world’s continents to Dallas. In 1938, they established the Neiman Marcus Awards honoring those who have changed the course of the fashion industry.
Neiman Marcus has since honored over 150 extraordinary luminaries whose talent and work continues to have an enormous impact on the world of luxury today, including Giorgio Armani, Pierre Balmain, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, Christian Dior, Salvatore Ferragamo, Valentino Garavani, Karl Lagerfeld, Ralph Lauren, Miuccia Prada, Emilio Pucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Gloria Vanderbilt.
As we continue Carrie and Stanley’s important legacy, our prestigious fashion awards have come full circle, with current creative directors of iconic fashion houses being honored for their exceptional creativity. In 2024, 84 years after Elsa Schiaparelli was given The Neiman Marcus Award, Daniel Roseberry, creative director for Schiaparelli, was awarded in the category of Creative Impact, and 77 years after Christian Dior was honored, Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director for Dior, was chosen as the 2024 recipient in the Distinguished Service category.
