Neiman Marcus Westchester Debuts Holiday Gift Collection Benefitting Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester

Westchester County shoppers will experience the opportunity to browse a special gift collection at Neiman Marcus this holiday season. Recently debuted on November 20, a special Pop-Up Store featuring the Ken Downing Gift Collection will run through December 24. A program of The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation, the Collection will benefit local not-for-profit organization the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester (BGCNW). Ten percent of the sales of each item purchased at the store will go toward the Club’s Digital Arts Education Program.

Inspired by his world travels, Neiman Marcus Fashion Director Ken Downing selected 37 fabulous gifts for the entire family that no holiday list should be without. Designers featured in the collection include: Chanel, Maison Francis Kurkdijan, Nest, Tom Ford Beauty, John Hardy, Ippolita, Alexis Bittar, Michael Kors, Eddie Borgo, Jonathan Adler, William Yeoward, Monica Rich Kosann, Mrs. John L. Strong, John Derian, Alexander Wang, Moncler, Charlotte Olympia, Alexander McQueen, Tory Burch and Stella McCartney.

“We are so grateful to The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation for selecting our program as the recipient of this generous gift,” said BGCNW Executive Director, Brian Skanes. “Arts education is an important element of the Boys & Girls Club and we instill creativity and artistic expression in our members from the moment they walk through our doors.”

The Heart of Neiman Marcus is a national umbrella program that concentrates the company’s charitable efforts, including financial contributions, around supporting arts experiences for youth.  Building a national program around this issue, including local activation and partners, enables Neiman Marcus to stand for something in the hearts and minds of their customers, have a greater impact on communities and better align charitable efforts with the Neiman Marcus brand.

Gifts in the collection range in price from $32 - $1,800 and are available on Level One of Neiman Marcus at The Westchester Mall in White Plains.
