Under Todorovich's leadership, the merchandising
organization has evolved to enhance the retailer's partnerships with over 3,000
existing and new brand partners. Neiman Marcus' top 20 brands
were up approximately 35 percent in Q3 as compared to 2019, and its luxury
partners are expanding by 350 points of distribution. This has resulted in
strengthened business momentum and even stronger connections between the Neiman
Marcus brand and its customers.
Building on the addition of nearly 50 new and notable brands, 20
exclusive capsules and offerings, and one-of-a-kind experiences within the
existing portfolio of brands this Spring, Neiman Marcus' introduction
of the new Fashion and Lifestyle Director will serve to amplify its momentum.

recent role, she defined the fashion vision as a Fashion and Buying
Director at Moda Operandi. Earlier in her career at Net-a-Porter and MyTheresa,

and fashion e-tailers. Her experience will translate well as Neiman Marcus
continues to focus on the growth of its business and its service to the luxury
customer experience in stores, e-Commerce, and remote-selling and

"It is a privilege to be joining such a brand at the
pinnacle of luxury with a world-renowned heritage but more importantly to be at
the forefront of its continued evolution during such a pivotal time,"
shared Aiken. "I look forward to partnering with the teams and all our
brand partners to create a highly forward-thinking, elevated luxury brand
experience for Neiman Marcus customers."
