Conversation With: Four Holiday 24 Designers

Out of NM’s epic partnership with Target come more than 50 terrific gifts by 24 of today’s top American designers. They’re a crafty crew of CFDA members and visionaries who love the holidays as much as we do. Here, get to know four of the designers—Stacey Bendet of Alice + Olivia, Joseph Altuzarra, Brian Atwood and Robert Rodriguez—and get ready to shop their #Holiday24 gifts on Dec. 1 at Target and Neiman Marcus stores and online.

Alice + Olivia Luggage

NM: What inspired you to make this piece?

Stacey Bendet: I travel around the world and I am always hunting for unique luggage! I wanted something fun and graphic, and so I went with my signature stripe! Bold, yet classic.

NM: What would make this piece the perfect gift?

Stacey: Guys, listen up here.  Give this to your girlfriend with tickets for a romantic getaway somewhere.  That would get a serious A+!

NM: What particular detail do you love the most on the item you made?

Joseph Altuzarra: To produce the tumblers and shaker, we used an old manufacturing technique called “pressed glass” where the glass is molded into a diamond lattice pattern. The diamond pattern is then gilded in gold to highlight the intricacies and the texture of the pattern. I also love the high gloss lacquer finish on the tray and the brass inlayed hinges, which I think feels very French.

 

Brian Atwood Leather Gloves

NM: What inspired you to make this piece?

Brian Atwood: I was inspired by old Hollywood glamour and loved mixing materials to give it just the right amount of edge.

NM: What would make this piece the perfect gift?

Brian: It’s always about a bold statement for me and these are the perfect little “me” gift.

 

Robert Rodriguez Lace Dress

NM: Where do you see someone wearing this piece?

Robert Rodriguez: Since it is the perfect holiday dress, I can see someone turning heads in this at a fabulous cocktail party. I love the lace scallop around the top and bottom of the dress. It is a little detail that adds a lot of sophistication.

The Winner Is…Emilee Anne, Blogger On The CUSP!

Emilee Anne Hefflefinger, Blogger On The Cusp

Thank you to all who voted to decide our Blogger On The CUSP! We have had barrels of fun with all of our finalists throughout this campaign. And we are thrilled with the winner of the popular vote: Emilee Anne!  We’re presenting her gift card on Nov. 17, when she’ll be hosting festivities at our Downtown Dallas flagship, 2-4 pm. It’s a return to the mother ship for Emilee Anne Hefflefinger, a native of Dallas now living in New York. She attended Parsons School of Design, earning a bachelor’s in Fashion Design. She currently designs jewelry at Marc Jacobs and blogs after hours. She uses her blog to share inspiration, designs and favorite trends including current and vintage fashions. “I want to make an impact on the fashion industry and inspire people like the designers I admire have inspired me,” she says. We say she is the perfect embodiment of the CUSP slogan, Where Smart Meets Stylish. She’s just starting what will surely be a great career in fashion and media, and we’re proud to call her ours for the moment!

“Before I was able to attend a fashion design school, Neiman’s was my learning institution,” says Emilee. “Neiman Marcus introduced me to the designers I still admire today, like Marc Jacobs. Of course my mother and I love to shop, but what really made an impact on me was the opportunity to see the details and craftsmanship of designer garments in person throughout each season. This store, this home, fostered my love for fashion and made me the designer I am today. And for this reason, I am honored to be the Blogger on the Cusp!”
