During the 1930s and 1940s Neiman Marcus began to include less expensive clothing lines along with its high-end items, in response to the [[Great Depression]] and following war years.

Art likewise was used as inspiration for Stanley Marcus' seasonal campaigns to solicit new colors in fabrics, as he did the year that he borrowed 20 [[Paul Gauguin]] paintings — many of which had never been publicly exhibited — from collectors around the world and had the vivid colors translated into dyes for wool, silk, and leather.

A late 1960s Christmas Book featured portraits of [[Wyatt Cooper]], his wife [[Gloria Vanderbilt]], and children Carter and [[Anderson Cooper]]. The company continued its extravagant marketing efforts (including the launch of His and Her gifts in the famous Christmas Book) with the inauguration of Fortnight in 1957. The Fortnight was an annual presentation of fashions and culture from a particular country, held in late October and early November of each year, and was one of the most anticipated events in Dallas.

The freestanding store was later replaced with a new anchor store located in the [[Houston Galleria]] in 1970. In 1965 the Preston Center store was closed and a new store, more than twice as big, was opened at NorthPark Center. Another branch in Fort Worth was also opened. By 1967 the four Neiman Marcus stores in operation were generating annual sales of $58.5 million, and the company's profit for that year was in excess of $2 million.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com"/> In 1968 the company merged with Broadway-Hale Stores, Inc., which enabled Neiman Marcus to expand at a much faster pace than would have been possible as an independent entity. In 1971, the first Neiman Marcus outside Texas opened in [[Bal Harbour, Florida]]. In subsequent years stores opened in over 30 cities across the United States, including [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]], [[Beverly Hills, California|Beverly Hills]], [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], [[Chicago, IL|Chicago]], [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]], [[Minneapolis, MN|Minneapolis]], [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]] and [[St. Louis, Missouri|St. Louis]]. Neiman Marcus also had a letter of intent to open a 120,000 square foot store in downtown Cleveland in 1992 as part of an anchor for the upscale [[Tower City Center]]. However, the project did not come to fruition, instead opening its concept store in the 1990s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-7529657.html|title=Neiman Marcus in pact for new Cleveland store.

In June 1987, the company was [[Corporate spin-off|spun off]] from its retail parent, [[Carter Hawley Hale Stores]], and became a publicly listed company. [[General Cinema]], later to become [[Harcourt General]], still had a roughly 60% controlling interest until 1999, when Neiman Marcus was fully spun off from its [[parent company]].

'''The Neiman Marcus Group''' comprises the Specialty Retail stores division — which includes Neiman Marcus Stores and Bergdorf Goodman — Cusp (a contemporary boutique format) and the Direct Marketing division, Neiman Marcus Direct. These retailers offer upscale assortments of apparel, accessories, [[jewelry]], beauty and decorative home products. The company operates 42 Neiman Marcus stores across the United States and two Bergdorf Goodman stores, in [[Manhattan]]. Neiman Marcus' largest market is the [[South Florida metropolitan area|South Florida MSA]], where they operate five stores. The company also operates 30 '''''Last Call''''' clearance centers and two Horchow Finale Furniture Outlets. These store operations total more than five million square feet (500,000 m²) gross. Neiman Marcus Direct conducts both print catalog and online operations under the Neiman Marcus, Horchow and Bergdorf Goodman brand names. Under the Neiman Marcus brand, Neiman Marcus Direct primarily offers women's apparel, accessories and home furnishings. Horchow offers upscale home furnishings, linens, decorative accessories and tabletop items. They have also launched a new blog outlining the latest news in the fashion world and beyond. Until recently, The Neiman Marcus Group owned majority interest in [[Kate Spade]] LLC, a manufacturer of handbags and accessories. In October 2006, the company purchased all minority interest for approximately $59.4 million, and in November 2006 sold 100% ownership to [[Liz Claiborne]], Inc. for approximately $121.5 million. Another recent divestiture was a majority interest in Gurwitch Products LLC, which manufactures [[Laura Mercier]] cosmetics, to Alticor Inc., for approximately $40.8 million.<ref> [http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/service/company_overview.jhtml;jsessionid=MJTBGRZOT1KBECQAAKHRABY Form 10-Q], from Neiman Marcus website March 8, 2007</ref> In 2014 Neiman Marcus acquired German luxury fashion e-commerce platform mytheresa.com and its flagship store Theresa in Munich.

Some have included the "his and hers" themed items, trips and cars (see below). In 1952, Stanley Marcus introduced a new tradition of having extravagant and unusual gifts in each year's Christmas catalog, ''The Christmas Book''; the idea was sparked when journalist [[Edward R. Murrow]] contacted Marcus to ask if the store would be offering anything unusual that might interest his radio listeners; Marcus invented on the spot an offering of a live [[Black Angus]] bull accompanied by a [[sterling silver]] [[barbecue]] cart, subsequently altering the catalog to include his new idea, priced at $1,925.<ref name="ratliff">Rick Ratliff, Knight News Service, "The ultimate present: 2 Texas firms take pride in unusual gift offerings," The Lima News (Lima, Ohio), November 24, 1977</ref><ref name="mouseranch">"Mouse ranch — perfect Christmas gift," UPI story, ''The News'' (Port Arthur, Texas), October 6, 1974 — gives 1955 as date of introduction</ref><ref name="johnson">Tom Johnson, "Junk for Xmas At $11,700," ''The Gettysburg Times'' (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania), December 23, 1966</ref> At one point, the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog carried the distinction of being the item most stolen from recipients' mailboxes, prompting a Chicago postmaster to suggest the company switch to enclosing the catalogs in plain brown wrappers.<ref name="raphel">Murray Raphel.

The process worked by comparing information on the recipient to a computerized list of the 2,200 items available at Neiman-Marcus, then providing a printout of the 10 best suggestions. One person testing the computer filled out the questionnaire as if he were President [[John F.

A later profile of the store, "Neiman Marcus of Texas", described the "grandiose and elaborate" gala, noting, "It was on this occasion that one of the most critical among the store's guests, Mrs. Edna Woolman Chase, editor of ''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]'', expressing the sentiment of the store's starry-eyed clientele, told the local press:<ref name="schack216">Schack, p. 216.</ref> {{quotation|I dreamed all my life of the perfect store for women. Then I saw Neiman Marcus, and my dream came true.|Edna Woolman Chase, editor of ''Vogue'' (1936)|quoted in ''Commentary'' 1957}} In 1929 the store began offering menswear. During the 1930s and 1940s Neiman Marcus began to include less expensive clothing lines along with its high-end items, in response to the [[Great Depression]] and following war years. Between 1942 and 1944, sales at Neiman Marcus grew from $6 million to $11 million.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com"/> Despite a major fire in 1946, the store continued to profit.

Art likewise was used as inspiration for Stanley Marcus' seasonal campaigns to solicit new colors in fabrics, as he did the year that he borrowed 20 [[Paul Gauguin]] paintings — many of which had never been publicly exhibited — from collectors around the world and had the vivid colors translated into dyes for wool, silk, and leather. Area teachers cited the Gauguin exhibits as spurring a dramatic increase in art study.<ref name="tolbert-11">Tolbert, 1953, page 11.</ref> In the 1950s and 1960s [[Gittings]] operated a portrait studio in Neiman Marcus. Clients included [[Hope Portocarrero]], [[Lyndon Johnson]], [[Howard Hughes]], and the [[Pahlavi dynasty|Shah of Iran]], [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi]] and his family. A late 1960s Christmas Book featured portraits of [[Wyatt Cooper]], his wife [[Gloria Vanderbilt]], and children Carter and [[Anderson Cooper]]. The company continued its extravagant marketing efforts (including the launch of His and Her gifts in the famous Christmas Book) with the inauguration of Fortnight in 1957. The Fortnight was an annual presentation of fashions and culture from a particular country, held in late October and early November of each year, and was one of the most anticipated events in Dallas. It brought fashion, dignitaries, celebrities, exotic food and extravagant celebrations to the downtown store for 29 years.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://smu.edu/newsinfo/excerpts/fortnight-annotations-spring2007.asp |title=Neiman Marcus Fortnight - News and Communications - SMU |publisher=Smu.edu |date=October 21, 2007 |accessdate=December 10, 2012}}</ref> Neiman Marcus opened its first store outside the [[Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex]] in downtown [[Houston, Texas|Houston]] in 1957. The freestanding store was later replaced with a new anchor store located in the [[Houston Galleria]] in 1970. In 1965 the Preston Center store was closed and a new store, more than twice as big, was opened at NorthPark Center. Another branch in Fort Worth was also opened. By 1967 the four Neiman Marcus stores in operation were generating annual sales of $58.5 million, and the company's profit for that year was in excess of $2 million.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com"/> In 1968 the company merged with Broadway-Hale Stores, Inc., which enabled Neiman Marcus to expand at a much faster pace than would have been possible as an independent entity. In 1971, the first Neiman Marcus outside Texas opened in [[Bal Harbour, Florida]]. In subsequent years stores opened in over 30 cities across the United States, including [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]], [[Beverly Hills, California|Beverly Hills]], [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], [[Chicago, IL|Chicago]], [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]], [[Minneapolis, MN|Minneapolis]], [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]] and [[St. Louis, Missouri|St. Louis]]. Neiman Marcus also had a letter of intent to open a 120,000 square foot store in downtown Cleveland in 1992 as part of an anchor for the upscale [[Tower City Center]]. However, the project did not come to fruition, instead opening its concept store in the 1990s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-7529657.html|title=Neiman Marcus in pact for new Cleveland store.

In June 1987, the company was [[Corporate spin-off|spun off]] from its retail parent, [[Carter Hawley Hale Stores]], and became a publicly listed company. [[General Cinema]], later to become [[Harcourt General]], still had a roughly 60% controlling interest until 1999, when Neiman Marcus was fully spun off from its [[parent company]].

'''The Neiman Marcus Group''' comprises the Specialty Retail stores division — which includes Neiman Marcus Stores and Bergdorf Goodman — Cusp (a contemporary boutique format) and the Direct Marketing division, Neiman Marcus Direct. These retailers offer upscale assortments of apparel, accessories, [[jewelry]], beauty and decorative home products. The company operates 42 Neiman Marcus stores across the United States and two Bergdorf Goodman stores, in [[Manhattan]]. Neiman Marcus' largest market is the [[South Florida metropolitan area|South Florida MSA]], where they operate five stores. The company also operates 30 '''''Last Call''''' clearance centers and two Horchow Finale Furniture Outlets. These store operations total more than five million square feet (500,000 m²) gross. Neiman Marcus Direct conducts both print catalog and online operations under the Neiman Marcus, Horchow and Bergdorf Goodman brand names. Under the Neiman Marcus brand, Neiman Marcus Direct primarily offers women's apparel, accessories and home furnishings. Horchow offers upscale home furnishings, linens, decorative accessories and tabletop items. They have also launched a new blog outlining the latest news in the fashion world and beyond. Until recently, The Neiman Marcus Group owned majority interest in [[Kate Spade]] LLC, a manufacturer of handbags and accessories. In October 2006, the company purchased all minority interest for approximately $59.4 million, and in November 2006 sold 100% ownership to [[Liz Claiborne]], Inc. for approximately $121.5 million. Another recent divestiture was a majority interest in Gurwitch Products LLC, which manufactures [[Laura Mercier]] cosmetics, to Alticor Inc., for approximately $40.8 million.<ref> [http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/service/company_overview.jhtml;jsessionid=MJTBGRZOT1KBECQAAKHRABY Form 10-Q], from Neiman Marcus website March 8, 2007</ref> In 2014 Neiman Marcus acquired German luxury fashion e-commerce platform mytheresa.com and its flagship store Theresa in Munich.

Some have included the "his and hers" themed items, trips and cars (see below). In 1952, Stanley Marcus introduced a new tradition of having extravagant and unusual gifts in each year's Christmas catalog, ''The Christmas Book''; the idea was sparked when journalist [[Edward R. Murrow]] contacted Marcus to ask if the store would be offering anything unusual that might interest his radio listeners; Marcus invented on the spot an offering of a live [[Black Angus]] bull accompanied by a [[sterling silver]] [[barbecue]] cart, subsequently altering the catalog to include his new idea, priced at $1,925.<ref name="ratliff">Rick Ratliff, Knight News Service, "The ultimate present: 2 Texas firms take pride in unusual gift offerings," The Lima News (Lima, Ohio), November 24, 1977</ref><ref name="mouseranch">"Mouse ranch — perfect Christmas gift," UPI story, ''The News'' (Port Arthur, Texas), October 6, 1974 — gives 1955 as date of introduction</ref><ref name="johnson">Tom Johnson, "Junk for Xmas At $11,700," ''The Gettysburg Times'' (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania), December 23, 1966</ref> At one point, the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog carried the distinction of being the item most stolen from recipients' mailboxes, prompting a Chicago postmaster to suggest the company switch to enclosing the catalogs in plain brown wrappers.<ref name="raphel">Murray Raphel.

The process worked by comparing information on the recipient to a computerized list of the 2,200 items available at Neiman-Marcus, then providing a printout of the 10 best suggestions. One person testing the computer filled out the questionnaire as if he were President [[John F.
