Carolina Herrera‘s Wes Gordon is popping into Nordstrom‘s New York flagship Thursday.
The Seattle, Wash.-based retailer is hosting a “World of Carolina Herrera” cocktail party highlighting the fashion and beauty offerings from the brand, hosted by Gordon and Nordstrom’s vice president and fashion director Rickie De Sole.
The event will highlight a wide range of beauty offerings, including both its Luckycharms and Confidential collections (the latter of which is a Nordstrom exclusive), as well as the brand’s makeup range with complementary makeup tips from artist Samantha Lau. On the fashion side, they’ll be presenting the Cabana 2025 collection.
On the far higher end, Nordstrom is offering a limited number of the Swarovski crystal-emblazoned Good Girl hero scent, which will retail for $10,000. Each bottle entails 18 hours of artisanal work, and more than 1,600 crystals.
In the U.S., fragrance is still prestige beauty’s hottest category, having posted 12 percent growth to become the market’s second-largest category in 2024, per Circana.
At parent company Puig, fragrance and fashion’s sales rose double-digits to 896.4 million euros across brands, on an organic basis, as reported.
Nordstrom, in the later stages of going private, saw sales increase 4.7 percent on a comparable basis in its fourth quarter. It’s been busy in New York, having debuted a monthlong pop-up with Maison Margiela in April.
In the company’s offprice division, Nordstrom Rack, it has augmented its loyalty program to include immediate discounts and 5 percent off every purchase with a Nordstrom credit card, announced Friday.
