Neiman Marcus CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck hosted a fun cocktail celebrating the Neiman Marcus Awards in Paris last night. The honorees were Amina Muaddi who received the award for Innovation in the Field of Fashion, Jonathan Anderson of LOEWE for Creative Impact in the Field of Fashion, and Brunello Cucinelli for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion. Cucinelli gave the most heartfelt and cute speech thanking Italy, his region of Umbria, and his skilled and talented workers. The awards today are the group’s way of recognizing the visionaries in the field of fashion and as part of the Awards platform, each designer will gain access to the full support of the Neiman Marcus magic which includes merchandising and marketing,
The NM Awards started back in 1938 as a way for Stanley Marcus and Carrie Marcus Neiman to amplify emerging talents from Europe and America. Many of whom then went on to become icons in the industry. Past honorees include Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfeld, and many others. Last night’s cocktail celebration included Rosita Missoni who celebrated the 50th anniversary of receiving the Neiman Marcus Awards. With the Eiffel Tower glowing in the background at La Giraffe Suite, guests included Ashley Park, Lori Harvey, Olivia Palermo, Rick Owens, Sabrina Elba, and a special performance by Noah Cyrus.
