Employee Spotlight: Christina

The people who work at Anthro are incredibly diverse and talented, and we’re excited for the opportunity to share a little bit about them each month. In our first-ever employee spotlight, we’re introducing you to our personal shopping manager, Christina, who some of you may already know from her weekly tips on Facebook, or from chatting or emailing with her via our website!

A. When did you start at Anthropologie?
C: I started with Anthropologie in 2006 as a store manager in NYC (16th & 5th). After a year, I was craving an opportunity to put to use my passion for the customer and my desire to have an elevated approach to service in our stores. I have since been on a journey towards establishing the role of personal shoppers in our stores and online—a position genuinely dedicated to the “art of dressing” our customer.

A. What does your role encompass from day to day?
C: Everyday is different—in the office, it’s usually a mix of following-up with customers, discussing styling tips, reviewing new product, putting together outfits, collaborating on creative projects, meeting with buyers, and on the best days, connecting with customers in store and making women feel beautiful.

A. Who has been your biggest style influence?
C: My grandmother. She has impeccable taste and an eye for quality. Her passion for beauty and attention to details has inspired me for as long as I can remember and sparked the desire to express myself visually from an early age.

A. What are your favorite places to get style inspiration?
C: City streets, my stylish friends, Pinterest, art, nature, traveling…I am curious and visual, more of an instinctual dresser, so I’m always looking and feeling for something to spark an idea. Even the smallest thing can trigger me to recall an item in my wardrobe or picture a new combination. When I was in Paris last fall, I became obsessed with their graphic street signs and the colors of their subway lines. Since then, I’ve been craving a certain shade of pink, drawn to anything lime green and wearing more graphic accessories!

A. What are five Anthro pieces every girl should have in her closet?
C: I have to pick six! A fit-and-flare dress, a vintage cardigan, an ethnic embroidered top, a skirt for every mood, a favorite pair of jeans and statement jewelry.
