Fighting Back the Bad PR With One Local Designer At A Time

And another very Chicago-centric story from the rival paper, the Tribune, “Macy’s Trumps Field’s Local Designer Support.” If you’ve been anywhere within a few hundred miles of Chicago in the past, say, three years, it’s impossible that you didn’t get word of the uproar caused by changing the beloved Marshall Field’s into a regular old Macy’s. Well, now that the transformation is complete, it sounds like they’re trying to counter all the bad press and negative comments about nearly everything they’ve done in the change, by doing things like reaching out into the Chicago area and plucking out fashion designers from their own turf.
