Meryl Streep took Anne Hathaway down in a riveting speech in “The Devil Wears Prada” — a speech where she made it clear that no matter what Anne thought of fashion, everything she wore and her every product choice was decided for her by the very people in that room, whether she knew it or not. When it comes to merchandising, it’s all about selecting the right product mix and optimizing the presentation to improve sales and drive market share.
