Salah Hassan
Salah S. Hassan, chair and professor of marketing, was quoted in the Chicago Tribune‘s April 13 article, “Carhartt wearing its intention on its sleeve.” The article discusses work-wear maker Carhartt Inc. and its new free-standing store in Wicker Park, their first urban shop for the 122-year-old brand. “Bringing Carhartt into the lap of luxury might be good for sales, but it also makes for a tough balancing act. If it becomes too fashionable, the rugged workman image can be compromised. You want to be careful not to go too far.” Hassan said.
