Cathy Horyn of the New York Times gives us a glimpse of what a Macy's exec meeting looks like in an article titled "Macy's Buyers Are So Excited About Crinkle Cotton":
"The décor of the room certainly confirmed this no-nonsense attitude. Water pipes and electrical conduits hung exposed from the ceiling. Seven or eight mismatched tables were arranged in a semicircle, before a couple of rolling racks of clothes, and there were additional banquet chairs along the back wall. Coffee and bottled water had been set out, along with a deli platter of fruit and cheese cubes.
Several other things could be observed about Macy's executives. Their number was almost equally divided in gender, they were predominantly white, and the median age appeared to be about 38. The men favored short haircuts and dark suits with white or pale blue shirts. Their physiques were soft, perhaps from riding on the seats of commuter trains. The women, on the whole, looked in better shape, and their attire fell on the side of tasteful rather than fashionable."
What I also learned from the article is that leggings are a hot seller at Macy's....which is fine, but please, please do not bring back the stirrup leggings!
