Alexander's Department Store

New York City Metropolitan Area
-
Vice President of Merchandising and Fashion Director
-
1970 - 1975
Francine revolutionized the American department store while at Alexander’s by providing customers with creative experiences – live, star-studded fashion shows! An exotic collection of home goods from the Far East! Pretty sales associates dressed in hot pants working in the tie department! But Francine, always able to see the big picture, also recognized that there were customers who enjoyed the style and entertainment of Alexander’s but weren’t interested in paying the prices for designer labels. So, she created fashion designer pieces (un-labeled) of equal adaptions; quality and style at a fraction of the price. This turned out to be a hugely successful formula and one that is still followed today. Show less
