so i need a new job. my current job is so boring that i want to cry- it's sucking the life out of me. i'd love to work in fashion- either for a retailer or vendor/designer. does anybody know of any good companies to check out? i'd love to work in sales/marketing or merchandising/buying. i'm NOT interested in working on the retail sales floor- i've done that and i'd really like to work more on the business/planning side.
obviously, gap, inc. is based in sf. that's the big one. but i think i'd be happier working for a smaller company. i can think of a bunch of companies/designers based in LA/so cal, but i'm drawing a blank for the bay area. can anybody help??
Been thinking about this but I'm also drawing a blank... There are boutiques on 4th street in Berkeley, like Erica Tanov (http://www.ericatanov.com/)- she also has a New York outlet so it might be something for you to look at; another idea is to try Jeremy's (on College st, Berkeley) - they carry designer salvage and sale Anthro, I always thought it might be cool to work for them - but it's only me, most likely not everybody's cup of tea... I don't know SF that well... Good luck!
Levi Strauss is based there, and I think that the Urban Outfitters chain is also (although I could be making that up). Wilkes Bashford? Gump's (only home though, right?), Sue Fisher King, there is that great store called Atrium in Union Square. I am trying to think of things that are specifically Bay Area. Maybe I will post more later if I think of anything else.
