IN MEMORY OF WERNER ESCHER South Coast Plaza A Life Well Lived!
Werner Escher served as South Coast Plaza’s Executive Director of Domestic and International Markets for nearly five decades. He passed away in January at age 85. He will be greatly missed by all. David Grant, the center’s general manager, said “Werner was instrumental in bringing the world to South Coast Plaza and bringing South Coast Plaza to a global audience. His efforts over the years helped make South Coast Plaza a renowned international destination. Werner embodied the best of the center with his instinctive grasp of diplomacy, his charming demeanor, his work ethic and his focus on great customer service.”

SOUTH COAST PLAZA CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF
LUXURY SHOPPING
S
outh Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California, celebrates its 50th anniversary as the premier luxury shopping destination in the U.S. Throughout 2017, the center will mark this important milestone with exciting events, exhibits and special collaborations that reflect the Southern California icon’s heritage. South Coast Plaza is renowned for its unrivaled collection of luxury and fashion brands, arts patronage and philanthropic partnerships and is widely recognized as an international destination. “For 50 years, South Coast Plaza has taken charge of its evolution, from the curation of luxury brands and unique mix of stores to the extraordi-
nary services, experiences and special events that draw a global following,” said Debra Gunn Downing, spokeswoman for South Coast Plaza. “As we set our sights on the future, we are delighted to celebrate this important anniversary with our retailers, restaurants, community, philanthropic and arts partners, employees and millions of visitors who have come through our doors. They have played a role in helping the center achieve international stature and success.” The center has partnered with luxury brands such as Gucci, Brunello Cucinelli, TOD’S and Marni, among others, for special 50th anniversary merchandise and limited-edition products exclusive
to the boutiques at South Coast Plaza. Fall will be an especially significant season of celebration: South Coast Plaza will debut a collectible retrospective on the center published by Assouline. This elegant book will include never-beforeseen photographs that illustrate the evolution of South Coast Plaza. True to tradition, South Coast Plaza will host several must-attend fashion events, including a number of major runway shows. With annual sales approaching $2 billion, South Coast Plaza is the most successful planned retail destination in North America. It is one of the largest shopping centers on the West Coast, with more than 250 stores and restaurants on 128 acres, and is privately owned. The list of retailers vying for a coveted spot at South Coast Plaza has grown over the decades, and the center maintains a unique, edited blend of brands like no other, including one of the most extensive selections of fine jewelry and timepiece stores nationwide; high-end shoe boutiques such as Roger Vivier and Berluti; contemporary retailers such as Maje, COS and Massimo Dutti; and designer, ready-towear boutiques for men and women. South Coast Plaza continues to add more brands to its luxury collection, including Céline, Moncler, Charlotte Olympia, Dolce&Gabbana, Brioni and A. Lange & Söhne. South Coast Plaza has a history of securing regional exclusives as well as first U.S. locations and flagships, such as the first Nordstrom outside the Pacific Northwest in 1978. More recently, the only North American outpost for Weekend Max Mara, the exclusive U.S. location for Les Parfums Louis Vuitton and the first West Coast boutique for The Webster opened at the center. In 2017, South Coast Plaza welcomes a number of Orange County exclusives such as Dior Homme and Stella McCartney and the only West Coast location for Gianvito Rossi and Aquazzura. South Coast Plaza attracts a discerning clientele from across the U.S. and all over the world who are drawn to the boutiques, award-winning restaurants, exclusive events, concierge services and the center’s proximity to the magnificent coastline, worldclass beaches, top golf courses, an international airport and the adjacent Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

“LAISSEZ LE BONS TEMPS ROULER”
H
ere, in this little corner of the American South, where European traditions blend with Caribbean influences, the history is as colorful as the local architecture; the food is the stuff of legend. Haitian and African Creoles developed an exotic, spicy cuisine and were instrumental in creating jazz and Cajun Zydeco. The street names are French and Spanish, the Creole architecture comes in a carnival of tropical colors and the voodoo is a Caribbean import. The magic is irresistible.
French Quarter
A cultural gumbo, New Orleans celebrates our differences. In fact, you can celebrate almost anything in the Big Easy. They have a special saying: “Laissez le bons temps rouler” (“Let the good times roll”), a reminder of the rich French heritage, a way of life that began three centuries ago and remains today.
Royal Street
From the French Quarter to Magazine Street, New Orleans offers an array of retail choices. Options include hundreds of boutiques, art galleries, shopping centers, outlet centers and antique stores throughout the city. International visitors to Louisiana can take advantage of a sales-tax refund on purchases made at nearly 900 tax-free stores and centers. Visit LouisianaTaxFree.com and NewOrleansCVB.com.
