Bloomingdale’s has announced the launch of From Italy, With Love; a two month-long retail event that will bring the best of Italy to the United States. Starting September 5, this milestone event will immerse shoppers in the unparalleled beauty of Italian fashion, design, cuisine and culture, featuring over 300 exclusive products from 150+ renowned partners, and the introduction of over 30 new brands.
Available both in-store and online, the curated collection includes limited edition collaborations across apparel, fine jewelry, accessories, beauty and home, complete with events and installations.
Fashion enthusiasts will discover exclusive pieces from Max Mara, Ferragamo, and Valentino, as well as a one-of-a-kind dress designed by Giambattista Valli, inspired by his love of travel. For the first time ever, Bloomingdale’s is welcoming ready-to-wear by La DoubleJ, Fendi and Etro. The retail event’s fine jewelry will spotlight a full suite of one-of-a-kind jewels available only at Bloomingdale’s from brands Crivelli and Marco Bicego, Ippolita, Roberto Coin and more. In addition, the retailer will be home to a show stopping, 52-carat collection designed by Alberto Milani, featuring a necklace, bracelet, ring and earrings.
Bloomingdale’s will launch a shoppable marketplace at 59th Street, Il Mercato. The Italian pantry, located on the main floor, will give customers the opportunity to shop the finest groceries, including gourmet sauces, homemade pasta, olive oils and coffee curated by region, from partners such as De’Longhi, Il Buco Vita, and Giadzy. The shop will allow customers to discover charming items such as the Unfortunate Portrait T-shirts packaged in pizza boxes.
As the exclusive United States partner, and a central component of the 59th Street programming, Salone del Mobile.Milano will pay tribute to Italian design. The flagship store will host a special exhibition with a site-specific installation titled “Italian Design: from Classic to Contemporary,” showcasing products from 23 renowned Italian brands, all exhibitors of Salone del Mobile.Milano. The most important international fair of the design industry has commissioned architect Ferruccio Laviani to curate the installation, which took inspiration from Giorgio de Chirico’s metaphysical piazzas and beautifully captures the spirit of Italian design.
“It’s truly remarkable to see From Italy, With Love come to life following such extensive planning and strategic collaboration across the organization,” shared Frank Berman, Bloomingdale’s chief marketing officer. “The campaign serves as a unique opportunity to unite iconic brands, tastemakers and partners, creating a celebration of culture, design and style. Customers will immerse themselves in the rich offerings of Italy through exclusive products, exciting events and interactive activations, offering an experience like no other.”
