    Abstract: This essay sketches the life and career of Stanley Marcus (1905–2002), the retail entrepreneur who built the Neiman Marcus department store empire. Drawing from German sociologist Georg Simmel’s theories of fashion and modern urban culture, Roemer ruminates on Marcus’s Jewish identity and social marginalization, tendencies which appear to run counter to his enormous role in creating modern Dallas and in bringing haute couture and European luxury consumption to the American southwest. The essay argues that Marcus’s embrace of high culture went hand in hand with his philanthropy and his courageous stance for racial integration, reflecting a blending of the values of the retailer’s East European and German Jewish immigrant roots.
