SINCE 1939, Neiman Marcus, one of the United States' top specialty stores, has been pandering to the whims of the super rich with its annual gift catalogue.
The late Stanley Marcus (the store’s president from 1950-1972), conceived the idea of a 150-page Christmas Book. It has 10 pages devoted to “fantasy gifts’’ which target the top 1% of American society. Needless to say, this book received lots of publicity as the remaining 99% of the American population gawked at the outrageous gifts on offer. (However, the rest of the catalogue carries products from RM36.)
