Neiman Marcus�has announced the launch of its spring campaign,�Looking Forward, Forward Looking.� Neiman Marcus anticipates a season filled with occasions worth celebrating, new adventures and a new take on luxury. The digitally led campaign features a series of videos,�The Spring Book, digital and print advertising, social media content and innovative in-store visuals.
The campaign theme,�Looking Forward, Forward Looking,�inspires customers to embrace tomorrow’s opportunities, the future of style and transformation of seasons. The campaign taps into the current cultural mindset, where�customers are more than ever anticipating the joy of exploring and participating in all the new possibilities of spring.
“We heard that many of our customers are ready to embrace spring and the fashion that comes with it, and we also saw many designers show collections on the runway that captured a sense of joy and optimism,” said�Lana Todorovich, President and Chief Merchandising Officer, Neiman Marcus. “With the�Looking Forward, Forward Looking�campaign we capture this sense of optimism and are excited to bring our customers fashion-forward exclusives, new brands, and retail experiences that will capture the mood and new take on glamorous, confident dressing this season.”
In the spirit of discovery, Neiman Marcus kicks off its spring campaign storytelling with�The Art of Fashion��men’s and women’s videos. Shot in the otherworldly Mojave Desert on the idyllic Bristol Lake, the setting served as the perfect backdrop, with its crystal-clear water and dry sandy flats, to showcase the next wave of designer looks. Each video articulates the theme of looking forward through a futuristic lens. Directed by the Neiman Marcus in-house team,�The Art of Fashion�videos juxtapose flowing silver materials depicting a sense of progress and mirror backgrounds evoking angles of discovery, against the dry scenery to evoke a decidedly modern mood.
Looking Forward, Forward Looking�includes more than 10 new and emerging brands as part of the 267 brands featured in the campaign across the women’s, men’s, children, home, and beauty categories. In March, Neiman Marcus will unveil its spring issue of�The Book, which spotlights luxury designer brands alongside emerging talent and key must-haves for the season. Photographed by�Emma Tempest, the covers feature looks from design houses�Peter Do�and�Casablanca,�both capturing a hopeful sense of forward movement.�Inside, readers will find storytelling encompassing all the remarkable things they have to look forward to this season � fashion, travel, occasions, and more.
