Nordstrom has announced that all three Jeffrey stores will be permanently closing.
The retail industry is being transformed by the Covid-19 crisis, with legends of luxury fashion struggling to stay afloat. In the wake of Neiman Marcus filing for bankruptcy and Opening Ceremony shuttering for good, Nordstrom purchased the Jeffrey brand from Jeffrey Kalinsky, the stores’ founder, in 2005 and brought Kalinsky on board at the department store to help shape its high-end fashion category as executive vice president of designer merchandising and designer fashion director.
The New York outpost of Jeffrey not only transformed retail for its location, but also for how products were displayed. If the mood at Bergdorf Goodman was plush and posh and at Barneys New York it was edgy and esoteric, the vibe at Jeffrey was that of an art gallery, with a clean open floor plan and minimal decor. “I don’t like anything to distract from the merchandise,” Kalinsky toldin 2018. “We are very much a white store where the merchandise becomes the art.
