Shannon Perri Reflected On The Legacy of Neiman Marcus

by | September 8, 2025

For Texas Highways, Shannon Perri wrote about how Neiman Marcus shaped the fashion industry, Dallas, and her own family history. The piece reflects on how Perri’s great-grandmother worked at Neiman Marcus. 

Perri recounts her experience visiting a Neiman Marcus building. She writes, “As I find myself at the steps of this legendary building, the weight of history bears down. I linger by the glass doors, eavesdropping on a family lamenting the store’s future.” 

Perri’s writing has appeared in Texas Observer, Joyland Magazine, and Sycamore Review.
