Ken Downing, senior vice president and fashion director of Neiman Marcus, is leaving the luxury retailer on March 29, WWD has learned.
Downing, one of the most colorful and visible figures in the fashion industry, has been somewhat of an institution at Neiman's. A front-row presence at designer shows in Paris, Milan, London and New York, Downing has been integral in bringing the trends and designers to Neiman's and shaping Neiman's fashion profile, in both women's and men's wear.
