And 2026 is going to be a great year for Bloomingdale's.

No, I think our creative teams come, you know, each time they're coming, you know,

four, five ideas and we have a creative committee and we select what are the most relevant one because it has to be relevant for our customers.

It has to be relevant from a product and assortment perspective because we want to bring exclusive products, collabs, et cetera, which is very important to create more differentiation.

It has to make sense from an activation, energy, vibe, et cetera.

It has to be in the moment.

It's a complex process and we're involving all different functions of the company.

It's a year and a half process.

We already know what's going to happen in 2036.

We're already working on what's going to happen in 2037.

So it's a long and very exciting process.

I think it's really, you know, what's making us excited is actually, so the moment's going to be unique, so it's about music, joy, and, you know, being together, that it's really important, that it's really what we're celebrating, especially with what's happening in the world, you know, with some tension.

We think that actually this happy together moment holiday that we're building is really meaningful for our customers.

These windows are very, very special because we know we're an iconic building in New York and really want people to come see what's happening at Bloomingdale's in the windows, on the facade, and then check here what's happening where we are with the Burberry Carousel and all the newness that's happening in the store.

We're starting the renovation.

We started the renovation of this building a couple of months ago, and you can start to see coming to life right now on the shoe floor, on the luxury to wear floor.

We have much more to come, but you can start to feel what's going to be the future of Bloomingdale's in 59th Street.

On this one, we really want to build the best department store in the US.

It's a humble ambition that we want to achieve, but it's really bringing Bloomingdale's to the international standard of department stores.

Really creating a destination, not only for US and New Yorkers or US shoppers, but for international shoppers.
