Macy’s, Inc., dropped a corrected third-quarter report yesterday, replacing its original from November 13, while showing some encouraging signs of growth. The retailer reported net sales of $4.7 billion, exceeding the company’s guidance range, with comparable sales up 2.5% on an owned basis and up 3.2% on a comparable owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace (“O+L+M”) basis, which surpassed the company’s guidance range and benefited from better-than-expected performance across nameplates.

I’ve had a soft spot for the annual Macy’s Flower Show ever since I worked in the Herald Square men’s fragrance department back in the 1980s (although I do recall having a problem with a sort of pineapple plant that hung over the edge of our little island: I kept smacking into it with my head every time I walked to the front to wait on customers). The team always puts on a stunning performance, and this year is no exception. Some of the imaginative displays were so eye-catching that it was easy to forget that the real stunners of the show were the flowers themselves. From “monumental knitted figures,” that embodied the nurturing of the gardens, to “quilted” birds, many of whom actually flapped their wings, to a kaleidoscopic entry sculpture on Broadway and an overflowing flower delivery truck, the creativity was as abundant as the flora.

As an MR editor, I always feel more conflicted about writing about The Met Gala (the annual fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art ‘s Costume Institute) than some of the other red carpet events like the Oscars or the Grammys: Sure, some of the evening’s trends might influence a retailer’s planning down the road, but because of the capricious nature of the Gala’s annual themes (reflecting the Institute ’s latest exhibition), the outfits often might just as well be plucked from a Halloween parade or Carnevale celebration.

During “Grads and Dads” season, it’s easy to forget that many young men heading into internships, first jobs, and graduation ceremonies don’t even own the clothing needed to get there.
