How does working at a boutique influence your own personal style?
Gechi: "I’ve learned so much about cut, color, and fabric. I’ve developed a finer appreciation for well-tailored clothing, which I keep in mind when buying for myself. I now know which cuts I look terrible in, and which pieces work best on me. I’ve always been adventurous when it comes to fashion, but since working at the shop, I’ve really honed my style, and my look has become more cohesive."

Kendra: "Working here, especially being the buyer and being so hands-on with everything that comes in, I definitely get new ideas every day. Being a designer myself, I’ve grown to appreciate even more the look and feel of really nice things. I think everyone deserves at least a few nice things to hold onto. Since I’ve been here, I think my comfort zone has expanded a bit. My personal style hasn’t changed much, but working here has definitely helped me find new ways to communicate it."
