An evening with Anna and Keith

Anna Sui and Keith Johnson.(photo from the Sundance Channel) I have long wished for a chance to visit Anthropologie’s headquarters in Philadelphia. So suffice it to say I was endlessly excited when just such an invite came my way! On Monday night I made my way to Philly for An Evening with Anna and Keith, a party thrown by Anthropologie…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

email: anthro in our own words

July’s anthro: in our own words newsletter is already here!! This month it’s devoted to the return of “Man Shops Globe,” the Sundance Channel show that follows Anthropologie buyer Keith Johnson to far-flung destinations without ever revealing how much he pays for anything. I enjoyed Season 1 and am looking forward to Season 2. It’s cool to see where Anthropologie…

Catching up on “Man Shops Globe,” plus apartment porn

I had a chance to catch up on “Man Shops Globe” over the weekend. My complaints remain the same as from the first episode review but I think the show is starting to settle into a nice rhythm. Mr. Johnson talks to Patty Isen, Director of Special Projects for Anthropologie. Mr. Johnson goes somewhere amazing and looks for inspiration for…

Man Shops Globe back tonight

Anthropologie’s head buyer Keith Johnson heads to South Africa tonight on “Man Shops Globe.” I didn’t get a chance to address this last week but many national outlets gave their take on the show. Suffice it to say they weren’t exactly kind. As Racked put it, “Professional TV critics made the same observation [Effortless Anthropologie did], only less gently.” To…

Thoughts on the first episode of Man Shops Globe

So what did you think? As pilot episodes go I thought “Man Shops Globe” was pretty good. I learned a few new things about Anthropologie including that everything in the store is for sale. Who hasn’t looked at the furniture and wanted a piece or two…or three or four? I’ve always loved the headboards. Next time I’ll have to check…
