A Day at Work

Dear All,

Welcome to my new blog post after quite a while. This post will take you along with me at work ;)

Before that I will tell you that I have been now for more than 6 months working for PT MAP. MAP is a retail company that imported loads of fashion brands, food, and other products to Indonesia. Some brands that you may be familiar of are probably: ZARA (Inditex group), MaxMara, DKNY, Topshop. As for food, MAP did brought in Starbucks, Burger King (praise be Lord), and many others.

My profession is Visual Merchandiser for 'Forever New'. This brand is originated from where Koalas are, Australia. In Jakarta, Indonesia, Forever New stores are located at Kota Kasablanka and Kemang Village.

So here are some snaps that I have been accumulated while I was at work:
As a Visual Merchandiser, I am required to arrange Window Display, Floor layout as well as other 3-dimensional displays to maximise sales.

It is quite fun really! I get to dress the mannequins and style their hair... This is not standard Forever New hairstyle, but it suits this girl for that time, so I guess it is fine.

Floor layout and wall display here. I have to ensure they have the balance in colors and weight (cannot be too heavy at one side or too dark).

Me dressing up the Torso, blurry but I really like it.



Me having fun with reflections and stuff.


There are many great things that I came to learn while being a VM. It is so much fun and tiring at the same time. There are some perks too, like trying out items that are not out yet, also I get employee discount 25% off for most of MAP products.


Cheers everyone!
