Transcript

If you're interviewing a Dior, yes you should have studied the Jonathan Anderson collection. You don't have to love every piece, but you should have looked at it closely enough to be able to say something that is more than just a passing comment. But I think that in and of itself is not going to land the job. I think what will land it is probably having more historical reference, knowing things that the average person wouldn't know, read the reviews or looked at the collection. Maybe what stores have opened in the last year and how they were architected might be saying about where the brand is going. Kind of level of of interest and of studiousness will be helpful.
