Rachel Green is a role model for many reasons. The biggest one might actually be her glow-up from café barista to high-flying fashion executive without so much as a college apprenticeship. Get it, girl! Rachel always had ambitions involving work in the fashion industry, and landing work at Saks Fifth Avenue was one of her biggest goals. She was interviewed here early in the series and was devastated to be passed over by another candidate in the end.
Saks is a world-famous name brand shopping destination in Manhattan. It’s the ultimate upscale department store in the city, where you’re likely to find A-list stylists and celebs shopping any day of the week. It’s easy to see why Rachel would dream of working for this status symbol of a store. After shopping in it for so many years with her daddy’s credit card and her trust-funded friends, it would have been so liberating to earn her place among Saks’ most powerful people. Alas, the only friend to work here ended up being Joey. A lucky break lands Joey a job as a perfume tester at Saks Fifth Avenue for one fun episode.
These days, Saks is still going strong. It even has a pretty stunning Instagram account featuring artsy short films about fashion.
