Simon and Neiman Marcus Collaborate On First-Ever Fantasy Gift Public Display
Neiman Marcus' 56th Annual Fantasy Gifts include celebrity motorcycle ride, Italy craftsmen tour and World View space flight experience
Simon, a global leader in retail real estate, today revealed the first-ever Neiman Marcus’ 2015 Fantasy Gifts public installation at Roosevelt Field. This collaboration will bring five of Neiman Marcus’ uniquely curated and inspiring holiday gifts straight to shoppers throughout the season.
“We are so honored to be working with Neiman Marcus to display their iconic Fantasy Gifts,” said David Contis, President of Simon Malls. “Giving our Roosevelt Field shoppers a chance to view these gifts – beautifully presented in custom-designed cases – is something that has never been done before and is the perfect way to welcome in the holiday season. It’s also a glimpse into all that Neiman Marcus will add to the Long Island shopping scene when they open their Roosevelt Field location early next year.”
The fantasy gifts, now in their 56th year, are individually curated and crafted by Hollywood celebrities, renowned artists and fashion and jewelry designers from around the world. Five of the gifts will be on exhibit for public viewing at Roosevelt Field’s Neiman Marcus wing through January 3, 2016.
