Barneys New York Inc. is a luxury department store chain selling upscale designer clothing, accessories, and beauty. Designers include Givenchy, Gucci, Christian Louboutin, Chanel, Dior, and many more. Bergdorf Goodman is located on Fifth Avenue and is also a luxury department store. They are known for their extraordinary window displays and on the second floor is the shoe salon where women will meet to shop and hang out together. One main difference between these luxury department stores is amount of staff and how well they are put together. The stores are well lit with fewer merchandise and a clean, wide open space to shop. Couches and lounge areas are seen throughout the store. These luxury department stores influence the fashion industry because all of the top designers are sold in these retail stores. Some designers have even been discovered and have made it into a household name by being at Bergdorf Goodman. I will use this experience in my future career because the clothing and designers sold at these high end retailers influence the fashion industry in trends, silhouettes, color, and fabric. Also, its important to understand how should clothing be displayed and why not learn from the best who have done it for years.
