I left the house at seven. It was bad. It was crazy. Ah, are we going to have buyers to present to?
So right now we are about to start the presentation. And we have limited attendance because of the flights being delayed because of the snow.
I'm gonna go ahead and start. I know we're missing a few people. Some of our important silhouettes.
We evaluate selling from the previous season as well as what's selling now to give them direction to what we want to see on the line.
It's great to have this instant contact with them and we can talk through a product or talk through issues right away.
It's easy enough to make a very expensive garment. If I had $30,000, it's easy enough because you have everything at your disposal. But how do you make something the same way with less.
If we like the details, what's the right retail for this sweater?
So the designers presented to the merchants and now the merchants are taking the line and working with it and deciding how much to buy, what quantity of each piece.
We've really done a lot to build the culture and build the team that's really dynamic. The level of talent across this office is something we're really proud of.
Kmart - it's really a place of unexpected discovery. We have great quality and great product.
When I tell people I work at Kmart they're like, "Oh my god, that's great, I love it, I love the store on Astor Place, I love the store in Penn Station. It's great. The fashion's great. I'm so surprised that I can find all these amazing things there."
