Zitat des Tages von Karen Katz:
My husband, he's very supportive. I couldn't be here without his support along the way.
Sneakers have become a significant category for us and a very tangible reminder that what our customers want and wear is changing.
Bergdorf Goodman is positioned at the very top of the luxury pyramid, and I think that as we go through this next phase of renovation, we're going to elevate it even further.
Competing at full price is the way we like to do business, but we cannot ignore the promotional environment.
Two of our biggest stores are in Dallas NorthPark and Houston Galleria, where the economy and our customers' business interests are heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry.
Back when I was 15 or 16, in Dallas there was a department store called Sanger-Harris. One holiday season, I got a job as a gift wrapper there. The others were all experts who did that job every year, and I was by far the youngest person, who was totally inexperienced. In those days, department stores around Christmastime were a total frenzy.
Over the years, the way our customers shop our stores and websites has changed and will continue to change with the increasing popularity and convenience of smart phones and tablets.
Our customers' business interests are heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry.
Our customers do not differentiate between channels, and now, neither will we.
Customers are extremely savvy. They don't want to pay more.
I am the ultimate Jewish mother.
There is no question that international tourism is on the rise - we see it at Bergdorf Goodman; we see it in Miami.
I look fashionable every day. And the pendulum swings between more, or less, edgy when I'm with bankers.
We recognized that for our future, and for the way the customer was now shopping, we had to have one point of view. All roads lead back to the customer.
When my son was little, we mothers always did the Halloween parties, and I would wear my orange-and-black Chanel. It comes in handy on October 31. I'm the chicest pumpkin around.
For what we want to accomplish in the future, we have to be able to view everything from the eyes of the customer.
Diane von Furstenberg is an extraordinary woman. She's modern. She's a mother, a grandmother, a leader.
Chanel is a very important vendor for Neiman Marcus. My favorite thing is the way they finish off the hems on dresses and jackets.
We are committed to investing in new technology so we can remain a leader in the online luxury business.
I never had lofty dreams of doing important things.
Today, fashion shows are now blogged and broadcast all over the world via social media. By the time the merchandise ships many months later, the newness and excitement has worn off, and in many cases, the customer has moved on.
Partnering with Rent the Runway's innovative model, combined with their affinity amongst millennials, provides an exciting opportunity for us. Together, we're helping the next generation of luxury consumers discover and fall in love with designer fashion.
People ask me, 'What keeps you up at night?' It's delivering a personal experience to every Neiman Marcus customer. It's the hardest thing we do.
