To answer your question from yesterday, American Eagle Outfitters...

Do you know of American Eagle Outfitter ?

Do you buy stuff there ? What do you think of the brand ?


Yes, I know of it, I work there. :)

Yes, I buy stuff there, I get a really good discount. So naturally, I buy the majority of my clothing there.

The brand's pretty good, they have a better size range, and they hire different ethnicities, whereas some brands *cough*Abercrombie*cough* has a tendency to only hire caucasians.

I hope my answer helped. Why were you asking about AEO?

I'm asking because i have an interest in fashion, i worked for Ralph Lauren for a long time...and also because i don't know much about this brand.
Glad they promote diversity.

Production : liaising with suppliers (purchase orders, negociating prices, dealing with problems and fixing them, making sure garments were delivered on time...).
Product development : sourcing suppliers, making an idea become a product and following up on prototype making and production.
Work was intense : dealing with asian contacts in the morning, american ones in the afternoon and europeans all day long - lots of deadlines too.
Learnt a lot about fashion industry.
