Marie Post 2:Gene Moore

Gene Moore is the godfather of visual merchandising, and by looking at this example of his work, one can see why. The scene depicts an everyday activity, eating Chinese takeout. Yet, he exchanges the noodles for a string of pearls. This brings an unexpected elements to the scene and captivates the viewer. This adaptaion creates a fun and intersting spin on how one would normally expect to see pearls. I find it ironicly amusing that he chose to use pearls in this window, instead of other Tiffany merchandise, since pearls come from oysters, which really is food.
