Meet Kate

Kate is striving to form and build upon our unique culture: to understand it, appreciate it and shape it. Esprit was founded on a spirit of volunteering and Kate leads Esprit Cares, which organizes programs that employees can get involved in. Recently she ran a plasma donation drive, managed a charity sample sale, and organized the Mind, Body, and Earth Week
Her typical day begins with prepping on the train from Düsseldorf to Ratingen, followed by a morning webex with global managers sharing successful volunteering activities.

Meet Dilini
Community Manager
"Social media is the future of communication,” Dilini says with absolute confidence. Dilini manages a team who review hundreds of comments and enquiries from consumers each month on Esprit’s social media platforms. “The interactions vary from questions about orders, interest in our sustainability initiatives, or the availability of our latest styles in various counties.”
Dilini reflects, “In my team, we are given freedom to come up with ideas and try them – I love this supportive and encouraging spirit.” Dilini joined the Esprit team and has grown through the ranks as the importance of digital has accelerated. “There is so much potential and so much for us to do.” Recently Dilini led the launch of the new user-generated content gallery #BeEsprit in the e-shop where consumers can share photos of their latest Esprit outfits via Instagram

Conoce a John
Director de diseño, ESPRIT Mujer Departamento de diseño
John Connor nación en Belfast, Irlanda del Norte. Con 19 años, y en contra de los planes de sus padres de convertirse en policía, John se trasladó a Londres. Allí estudió en la universidad de arte y diseño Central Saint Martins mundialmente prestigiosa, entre cuyos antiguos alumnos figuran John Galliano y Alexander McQueen. «Esta experiencia cambió fundamentalmente mi modo de ver el mundo», declara. John comenzó como ilustrador de moda, pero quería conocer cómo se elaboraban las prendas de moda y cómo estaba estructurado este mundo.
Esto le condujo a realizar patrones y de vez en cuando diseños, trabajo que le llevó por Londres, Nueva York y Milán. El puesto de John en Esprit consiste en garantizar que existe un ‘cordón rojo’ en la estética de las colecciones de mujer. Tras establecer la dirección de cada línea, se ocupa de viajar, inspirarse y realizar bocetos. Para John la esencia de Esprit es la relación calidad-precio, «productos que ella pueda ponerse todo el año.”
