statement! We are as proud of it as
they are, frankly, because we
designed it for them,”
Commenting that much of today’s
marketing is “show business,”
Larkin pointed out that one of the
objectives in Karastan’s
“conceptual” program is to create a
theatrical atmosphere in a carpet
store.
But after this building this
“theatre,” dealers must utilize ways
of drawing large audiences. One
way, he said, is “to put on a show.”
That, Larkin added, is what
Karastan has been doing with its
recent live store event programs
such as “Color and You” and “How
to Dress Your Home Halston Style.”
Larkin explained that Karastan’s
decision to introduce its Halston
collection was motivated by the fact
that “we believe so strongly in
fashion as a selling too, we felt we
should go right to high fashion or
haute couture as part of our
Karastan program.”
With slides he illustrated how
Karastan had programmed the
introduction as a “total fashion
concept” from the development of
the products to the creation of a
special display fixture and a series
of recommended “Halston
boutique” selling arrangements.
