The innovative founder and creative director is celebrated for his ingenuity and vision by the integrated luxury retailer.
DALLAS, Feb. 6, 2024/PRNewswire/ — Neiman Marcus announces Simon Porte Jacquemus, founder and creative director of Jacquemus as the 2024 winner of the Neiman Marcus Fashion Innovation Award. Jacquemus is recognized as a leader influencer with a significant social presence who has defined the cultural agenda and captured the fashion industry with a revolutionary approach to building his independent brand. Jacquemus challenges the status quo through different presentation, marketing and merchandising tactics that have set a new tone for the future of the fashion industry.
In 2023, Neiman Marcus brought back the celebrated awards program with a modern lens, expanding it to include two new categories (Innovation and Creative Impact) to support the retailer’s integrated growth strategy, Revolutionizing Luxury Experiences. Reflecting the ever-changing nature of fashion, the Innovation Award celebrates the extraordinary talent shaping today’s design landscape.
“Simon is a once-in-a-generation innovator whose vision, design skills and business prowess have resulted in one of the most imaginative fashion brands that has quickly resonated with our customers,” said Geoffroy van Raemdonck, CEO of Neiman Marcus Group. . “Neiman Marcus shares its pioneering experience-driven strategy with over-the-top moments like Fantasy Gifts and Retail-tainment activations to create magic for our customers.”
Since founding his eponymous brand in 2009, Jacquemus has quickly built a strong business serving a new generation of customers. Every aspect of the brand is imbued with the designer’s new way of thinking, as evidenced by the gigantic trolleys of Jacquemus bags seen roaming the streets of Paris last spring, its acclaimed Fall 2023 show set against the grandeur of the Palace of Versailles and the ephemeral pop-up vending machines ‘Jacquemus 24/24’. His latest show, ‘Les Sculptures’, celebrated his unique perspective on fashion as art while continuing his impactful off-the-calendar strategy that has successfully attracted the attention of celebrities and retailers around the world.
“I am very happy to receive the Neiman Marcus Award, it is a beautiful recognition for the brand and my team,” said Jacquemus. “As an independent designer, I was always interested in being innovative and creative in the design of my collections and also in my communication. It is always about communicating and creating experiences with our community in a unique way. Jacquemus always had the support of the American market , and especially Neiman Marcus for many years. I warmly thank the Neiman Marcus team for this great support and this award.”
Since Neiman Marcus began selling the French designer’s bags in spring 2022, business has grown exponentially. Due to the great customer response, the luxury retailer plans to significantly increase the brand’s distribution points over the next two years, including the launch of men’s ready-to-wear this summer. Neiman Marcus is currently the largest Jacquemus distributor in the United States and a key luxury partner.
“Simon has built a powerful brand rooted in the French spirit with stunning fashion that intimately connects with his loyal brand fans,” said Lana Todorovich, Chief Merchandising Officer at Neiman Marcus. “His talent for design and storytelling, along with his ability to be both fun and luxurious in his design, has captured the attention of our new luxury customers. Neiman Marcus has a long history of empowering talent and we are excited to amplify Simon’s influence and bring his coveted designs to our customers.”
Jacquemus joins previously announced 2024 honorees Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director of Dior’s women’s couture, ready-to-wear and accessories collections, and Daniel Roseberry, creative director of Schiaparelli, winners of the Neiman Marcus Awards for Distinguished Service and Creative Impact, respectively. A tribute to the enduring craft of French haute couture and the creative vision of ready-to-wear, the three French brands will be celebrated during Paris Fashion Week on March 3 at the iconic Ritz Paris.
