Continuation from this post!
Our second day started with an early morning and some rushed coffee from Einstein Bros. Our first appointment: Anthroplogie, possibly my favorite store EVER but impossible for me to afford. It was cold and windy and we got to there before it opened, after accidentally going to the wrong location first!
We met with the visual manager for all the Anthropolgies in the entire midwest! Her job is to travel around, going to new locations for the store and setting up all the displays and decorations before the store has its grand opening. Unlike other chain stores, the manager of each Anthropolgie has free reign over all of the design aspects of their own location. Every week they receive a semi-truck full of antiques from London and Paris to use in their displays!
Working at Anthropologie, especially as the visual manager, would be the perfect job for anyone creative. As of right now, it is my dream job!! Here's a group picture of all the ladies (and gentleman!) of Retail Studies Organization:
Our next and final stop was Coach, we learned a bit about the history of the company. One hundred years ago they made leather gloves; now they are an ever-revolving company that has managed to thrive even in the recession!
We did a bit more shopping and then had a very quick pizza lunch at Giovanni's before it was goodbye to Chicago!
