Rumors: Saks Fifth Avenue could be in talk with Neiman Marcus Group for a takeover. In this regards Saks’ flagship location in Manhattan (valued at 3.62Bn USD) could serve as a collateral to raise financial resources. Neiman CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck firmly rejected such possibility: "no need” to sell the business. Both firms are leading retailers in United States for jewellery and luxury goods. #jewelry #jewellery #luxury https://lnkd.in/dP46VnM3

Neiman Marcus, a beacon of luxury shopping since its founding in 1907, faced a critical juncture in 2020 when it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to mounting debt and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The once-iconic retailer struggled to keep up with the shift towards online shopping and the rise of discount luxury retailers. Compounding these challenges were burdensome debts from private equity acquisitions, which hindered its ability to innovate and adapt to the changing market. Emerging from bankruptcy under new ownership, Neiman Marcus embarked on a turnaround strategy focused on debt restructuring, enhancing its omnichannel presence, and targeting younger luxury consumers. The company has been investing in e-commerce and experiential retail while forming innovative partnerships like the one with Rent the Runway. Despite the arduous road ahead and fierce competition, Neiman Marcus' efforts to modernize its brand and operations provide a glimmer of hope for reclaiming its status in the luxury retail sector.

What really happened with Matches and where do we go from here? Very insightful article from Kirsty at Vogue B. - As a brit in this industry for long time, knowing Ruth and Tom, those lovely aperitivos at the Principe, the love and eye, and obsession to detail. I share the sadness of the Matches news. Numbers are numbers, and help give us context. But human beings are human beings and I wish all acquaintances and people affected by this big wave of change across all the industry the very best. - Here is a snippet from the article for those in London who don't yet know MODES Italian luxury retailer Modes is expanding and plans to open its first-ever UK store later this year after appointing Simon Whitehouse as CEO (Whitehouse, who hails from the north of England, was formerly CEO of JW Anderson). Modes operates more than 20 stores across Europe, including multi-brand women’s, men’s and childrenswear boutiques, plus some mono-brand franchises. It stocks a tight edit of 40 brands, including Marni, Dries Van Noten, The Attico, Coperni, Lemaire, and emerging names such as The Big White Blue, EBIT, Raxxy and Connor Ives. “People are looking for a personalised, multi-brand experience where you can find different collaborations or exclusive products,” says Whitehouse. He adds that Modes offers a point of difference because of its network of stores across the main European fashion capitals, plus resort locations. “That gives us an advantage in conversations with brands.” https://lnkd.in/ejyy4emD

The beleaguered fashion brand, Superdry, is back in the news again today. As mentioned previously, the business is preparing to launch a Restructuring Plan ("RP") in a bid to find a solvent solution to its current problems. The news overnight is that there will be an accelerated M&A process, likely resulting in a pre-pack Administration, if creditors do not support the RP. It is understood that the landlord of Superdry's flagship store in Oxford Street has drafted in legal advisors as the retailer looks to reduce its rents through the RP. See https://lnkd.in/eWhgNcP9 Note that Hilco have recently provided additional funding to support the business, whose shares are currently trading at around 6p. Notwithstanding the planned restructure of its financial position, there is still a question mark around whether Superdry understands its target market, as the teenage lads who were buying their clothes twenty or so years ago are now buying their clothes as dads, whilst today's teenagers are shopping elsewhere... #retail #restructuring #turnaround #fashion #superdry
