Neiman Marcus will honor Leonard A. Lauder with its Distinguished Service award.
“Leonard Lauder took a family business and grew it to be a global leader in beauty and innovation,” said van Raemdonck. “That is his great achievement — but beyond his achievement ishe did it. This business is all about relationships, how you care, respect and delight customers,” he continued, “and how you motivate the teams to always do their best.Leonard Lauder is not the first family member to receive the award — his mother, Estée, was honored by Stanley Marcus in 1962.
“I’d wave to them and they’d all wave back,” he said. “I felt like I worked there, and they felt like I worked there also.” Neiman Marcus has honored more than 150 leaders over the award’s 86-year history, but the only other multigenerational winners are the Ferragamo family — founder Salvatore won in 1947, followed by his daughter, Fiamma, in 1967.
The ceremony will be held on Nov. 13 in New York City, and the Lauder company will be invited to create an exclusive activation especially for Neiman Marcus customers, to launch in the next six to eight months. Last year’s honoree, Brunello Cucinelli, created two special collections exclusively for the retailer: one based on Hollywood glamour and the other on classic American staples. “We think of this as a gift to our customers,” said van Raemdonck, “a way to give them access to the recipient.
