Meet Kate
Global Culture & Esprit Cares Manager
Kate joined Esprit in 2017 and works in Human Resources. She says the best thing about her job is getting to know everyone in our Headquarters in Ratingen and in the 40 countries where we are present. 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. Then, meeting with local organizations or people who have charity suggestions, followed by a meeting with the Apprentices who are running their Spring Flowers campaign, and going to play pick-up football with other colleagues

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

認識約翰
ESPRIT 女裝設計部門設計總監
John Connor 最初生活在北愛爾的蘭貝爾法斯特。19 歲時，由於不願按父母的意願成為警察，他移居到倫敦。在那裡，他就讀於世界著名的藝術與設計學院——中央聖馬丁學院。這所學院過往曾培育了John Galliano 和 Alexander McQueen 等設計天才。他曾提及：「那段經歷徹底改變了我看待世界的方式」。John 一開始是一名時裝插圖師，但他想更深入了解服裝是如何製造以及其結構。
這致使他投身樣板製作的工作，最終走進設計領域。由於工作原因，John 常在倫敦、紐約和米蘭之間往返。John 在 Esprit 的職責是確保有一條貫穿於女裝美學的「紅線」。在確定每個系列的方向後，他會去旅行，在旅行途中獲取靈感和畫素描。對 John 而言，Esprit 講求品質和物超所值——「她買的衣服要四季皆宜」。
