WEBVTT 00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:11.480 My role here is the U.S. visual merchandising manager. 00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:19.240 that encompasses making sure our boutiques, as well as our wholesale businesses, all are in alignment as far as merchandising perspective. 00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:24.960 I really, really do enjoy getting to see different markets, experience different clients, work with different teams. 00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:33.800 It is always a dance between pleasing the client, but also wanting to maintain an understanding of our heritage and our culture. 00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:39.480 Could be a broad statement such as: our brand is known for craftsmanship, made to measure suiting. 00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:45.040 But then how does that apply to the world in which we live in? And how do we display from a visual standpoint? 00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:48.680 Because if you just dress a mannequin and its kind of sloppy looking and ill fitting, 00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:53.760 the customer is going to naturally assume that that is how this suit is going to fit on them. 00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.560 This product took time, effort to create and we are handling it and presenting it in such a way that it is a quality good 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:06.680 for you to enjoy and hopefully live in and have experiences in. There is that moment of, "wow, that was worth it!". 00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:17.280 It is kind of exciting to be with a company that from day one has wanted to create an intimate, personal, familial exchange. 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.480 We want you to have a full romanced experience from developing all the way into actually wearing the product 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.760 at whatever event that you happen to be doing it for or purchasing product for. 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.400 I think we have made a conscientious effort to represent different people groups. 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.320 So for someone who, maybe, does not necessarily wear a suit every day, 00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:43.240 there is still opportunity for you to find yourself within a world that maybe, again, 00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:49.480 wearing an unstructured blazer would be more in that space, wearing with a pair of jeans. 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:59.480 I am glad that Canali values visual merchandizing in that way and puts high value in presentation. 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.600 My job literally is, month by month, constantly changing the store, 00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:10.760 which, in its own way, allows you mentally as well as physically to see and experience things in a brand new way, 00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:16.600 which I think is extremely important as human beings. It challenges me as a person to view the world in a different way, 00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:19.040 experience it in a different way.
