Fashion magazine Marie Claire and credit-card giant Mastercard are launching a pop-up store with Neiman Marcus goods next week at Richard Talmadge’s 120 Wooster Street in Soho.
Touch-screen mirrors dot the dressing rooms, allowing customers to request articles in different sizes and buy them on the spot without having to stand in line for a cashier.
Neiman Marcus ditched plans for an initial public offering in January in the wake of lackluster earnings.
Earlier this year, Related Companies executives met with the retailer’s leadership to discuss a potential acquisition, but on May 25, the development giant’s founder Stephen Ross said he is not interested in buying the retailer.
Last month, reports emerged that Neiman Marcus wants to downsize its planned flagship store at Hudson Yards, but the retailer denied this. [Bloomberg] — Konrad Putzier
