"Bloomingdale's mission was - and is - to seek and to create. Many designers got their first truly big opportunities at Bloomingdale's - Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Sonia Rykiel, Fendi and more. Bloomingdale's buyers comb the world for the best and most unique merchandise. In 1961, the first designer shopping bags were created, and for the next 30-plus years they were considered collector's items. The Model Rooms, begun on a grand scale in 1971, have gained world-wide attention. Everyone from Frank Gehry to Federico Fellini has contributed design talents to the Model Rooms.
