I went to Anthropologie yesterday to pick up some Christmas presents, and it was a treat. The store is curated so well. In every crevice and corner there’s something interesting for any sex to gaze upon. And it provokes a similar curiosity that you may have also experienced when stepping into a Paul Smith store.
After returning from the trip, I mentioned my observations to K and she agreed. She also told me that since I liked the objects (I’m not in to ladies clothing.) in the store so much, I’d most likely enjoy watching the hunt to find these items. And then she pointed me to Man Shops Globe, and she was right—it’s really interesting. In this series, the camera follows around Anthropologie’s buyer-at-large Keith Johnson as he shops the world for treasures that will eventually end up in the stores. I can only hope they continue adding these videos online, because right now there just aren’t enough of them. And Keith Johnson, if you’re reading this (I know you are.)—I’m willing to drop everything to start traveling and hunting fascinating things.
You can watch Man Shops Globe here and you can learn more about how he got the job here.
