BLOOMINGDALE’S UNVEILS BOLD FALL 2025 CAMPAIGN: JUST IMAGINE Ilori brings his signature artistry – led by joy, playfulness, and cultural storytelling -- to Bloomingdale's Fall 2025, reimagining and transforming the building, inside and out, into a vibrant wildflower garden inspired by the resilience, creativity, and energetic pulse of New York City. As Ilori reflects, there is something mesmerizing about contemplating a flower – it draws us into the present, grounding us in the now, while wildflowers in particular thrive in unexpected places, adapting and flourishing with spontaneity. Just like the people of New York City, their creativity blossoms when they embrace the moment, turning inward and nurturing their unique process. Titled "Cherish Your Magic," Ilori's immersive design for the Carousel takeover will come alive with soaring installations, sculptural builds, and vibrant product vignettes across categories. Extending this narrative beyond the store, Ilori's striking façade and reimagined windows mirror both the strength of wildflowers and the ever-moving rhythm of New York City.The campaign also features exclusive collections from Ilori and celebrated illustrator Angelica Hicks, along with limited-edition collaborations across apparel, fine jewelry, accessories, beauty, and home. Bloomingdale's will host various events and activities over two months starting September 4.The limited-edition Bloomingdale's collection, designed by Ilori, spans cashmere knits, playful objects like a pickleball set, Baccarat Ginkgo vases, bespoke sketchbooks with art cases, and bold home décor, alongside a jewelry capsule with Bea Bongiasca and a seating capsule with Kartell.

In fast-paced cities like New York and London, we often forget that the magic we're searching for is already within us.
