Diploma of Visual Merchandising
RMIT Diploma of Visual Merchandising graduate, Julian Orlando shares his insights and experience working for Cotton On Group as a Store Experience Assistant.
My name is Julian and I studied the Diploma of Visual Merchandising graduating in 2018.
Currently, I work for Cotton On Group as a Store Experience Assistant working for brands Cotton On, Cotton On Body and Ruby shoes globally. Working for the Cotton On Group is absolutely incredible.
I think being able to work on such a global scale business, and an Aussie business as well is something that's super important to me. But also I think as well important to the future of retail in Australia as well.
Whenever I hear that retail is dying, I can kind of cringe a little bit sometimes. And I think it's because I think the purpose of retail is changing the way it's moving forward is it's going to serve a purpose. It's got to serve a storytelling experience. I think it's all about immersing a customer in the future of retail and visual merchandising.
It's about creating these great spaces, whether it's being influenced by different things out of the industry, such as art areas or theatre as well. I think that the future is something that is positive and great, but it's going to have a huge change up in the future as well.
