The Neiman Marcus 100th Anniversary POP Up Book is a unique collector's edition celebrating the flagship Dallas store's history. Published in 2007 by Melcher Media, this vintage hardcover book features 8 pages filled with pictures and pop-up elements, making it a visually engaging experience. The book's focus on fashion, art, and culture makes it a special keepsake for fans of Neiman Marcus and collectors of fashion memorabilia.
This book is from the library of Mary Brandt, one of the artists who collaborated on this project. Renowned photographer, Geof Kern, created detailed sketches for the pop up design and shot the photographs for this spectacular book. Kees Morebeck, a talented Dutch paper engineer and designer created the blank mechanical pop up elements to work with Geof’s sketches. Mary Brandt is the creative digital artist and retoucher that transformed all of the images into workable elements that fit every individual piece of the blank paper structure. The images had to work from front to back and side to side. It was like creating a very elaborate puzzle. Over 200 images were organized onto nesting sheets for final output. The project entered another complicated phase of final production to became this fabulous pop up book.
This new book is signed by photographer, Geof Kern and artist, Mary Brandt. It was a labor of love and we hope someone has the chance to enjoy it.
