@kmendelsohn: Replying to @Sophia Cheli great question! I would like to add that this is only fair if you have a clothing allowance. It’s very difficult to ask employees to spend their own money to buy the brands clothing. Most brands offer their sales and PR teams a clothing allowance as part of their package in order to support the request of them wearing the line when with clients. #calvinklein #90s
This is going to be a very controversial take but it needs to be said. I feel the type of people and quality of people that work for major brands has dropped significantly and these things don’t matter anymore. I respect the time period in fashion when this was the case and the people were representative of the brands. Now they hire just anybody.

Nope :
Clothing stores in the mall during this time were the same. Employees got big discounts to encourage purchasing their clothes so you could wear them to work.

Great video and unfortunately chanel needs new employees never had such disrespectful disappointing and absolutely disgraceful experience. It’s not about the clothing it’s about how you treat clients especially clients that have a 20+ year history.

This is absolutely true! I worked as a stylist for J.Crew, both retail, and corporate levels, and while it wasn’t dictated we were to be head-to-toe in J.Crew apparel, and accessories, the days I wore maybe one garment that wasn’t, were the days I was treated differently at work. It was literally that serious, and it was always brought up with an odd threat, that one of the big wigs was going to see me. The same thing for a club Monaco, which is a Ralph Lauren-owned company, so that fully tracks.

Do you remember Oscar PR Girl? That was when I first saw an employee be the face of the brand online & humanizing the fashion brand.

Do you think this is why influencer brands like Something Navy failed? Because the influencers never wore their brands? Only before a “drop” and then back to their high-end luxury designers?

Completely agree! Even though I crunched numbers for CK, I always tried to represent the brand. You never know when you’d get asked to meet w someone or go somewhere for CK.
