The Foschini Retail Group Pty Ltd

• Senior Buyer

  • Mar 2005 - May 2011

  At Foschini I specialized in plus sizes. I started my training at the Foschini Group and my buying career in plus sizes buying the leisure lifestyle (commodities included: tops, bottoms, denim, dresses, jackets, knitwear and swimwear). I was later moved to the formal area, still plus sizes, where I bought the following commodities: tops, suits (jackets, pants, skirts and dresses) items pants, skirts and dresses, coats, knitwear and evening-wear. It was an exciting time in plus sizes as we strategized moving our brands' focus to become more fashion focussed ideally wanting to attract new and younger customers. We identified a need in the market for young fashion forward fashion for plus size women.
