NEIMAN MARCUS DEBUTS BRAND NEW FALL 2022 CAMPAIGN: LIVE YOUR LUXURY
Neiman Marcus has announced the launch of its Fall 2022 campaign. Titled Live Your Luxury, this brand new, company-wide endeavor encompasses all that it means to be proud of oneself–and purely in the moment. Inspired by Neiman Marcus’ customers’ desire for genuine expression it exemplifies that luxury is meant to be lived in–and loved–throughout the rhythms and the instances of the everyday. The campaign incorporates a 360° approach, inspiring discovery across advertising, in-store visuals, The Fall Book, events, digital content and videos. As a springboard for Neiman Marcus’ overall brand evolution; Live Your Luxury will serve as a strategic and creative platform for the brand.
The campaign encourages Neiman Marcus customers to inhabit and move through life in a way that’s true to the individual, with assurance, boldness, eclecticism, radiance and purpose. Live Your Luxury answers a call for newness and singularity, giving customers permission (and power) to embody the term as they see fit. Style, nowadays, is about so much more than just the clothes and accessories one puts together; to live the way one wants—and to maintain optimism in doing so—is the truest luxury there is.
Live Your Luxury also takes a confident, vitalized step with its easygoing verve. There’s an irreverence apparent, yet there remains a deep interest in elevated and elegant fashion. Musicality abounds, and a compositional emphasis on self-expression and individual character is key. The campaign’s colorful, energetic, humorous and engaging video vignettes demonstrate that luxury is not something stuffy, and that it is not something to be preserved for a perfect moment. The ethos is just the opposite: Luxury is for the here and now, so make it yours. It’s time to live it up.

It’s about how you wear a piece or a look, when you wear it, why you wear it, and what it means to you. It is about imbuing luxury as a mindset and a prism within our daily paces–and embracing it all.”
The video advertising showcases key tenets of Neiman Marcus’ value proposition—relationships, assortment, curation, inclusivity—and shows how style advisors inspire customers to live their luxury. The lead’s charisma and charm dramatize how they make every moment remarkable by solving style conundrums and guiding customers through the assortment with ease.
Shot on location in New York City and the surrounding Tri-State area by a roster of top creatives (credits below), the imagery and videos highlight a variety of designers and talent, bringing customer relationships to life. Throughout, models are seen in moments of happiness and freedom—smiling, socializing, and scintillating through the scene (pronounced camera angles add to the kinetic energy.) The visuals, in essence, bring a sense of remarkability into life’s reportage—and they capture a spirit of the extraordinary.
The campaign is composed of product-focused chapters including the flagship fashion story, The Art of Fashion, which features sonically inspired shots of the season’s most coveted ready-to-wear from global luxury brands such as Fendi,Dior, Prada, Chanel and Gucci.
