Looks like there is a little Simon Cowell in every corporate office: Macy's is kicking off a new program, "Macy's Open Call," to give designers the opportunity to introduce their work to Macy's fashion execs.

Designers can apply online from Jan. 15 to Jan. 31, with Open Call scheduled for Feb. 25 26 at Macy's Herald Square in New York. "The Macy's Open Call program confirms our commitment to featuring the latest trends by finding up-and-coming talent who can offer us product and design perspectives that are fresh and original," company execs say in a release announcing the program. --Sarah Mahoney
