Twenty-five years ago, I started EILEEN FISHER for a very personal reason: I was having trouble getting dressed. At the time I was working as an interior and graphic designer. In my mind I kept seeing these simple shapes for clothes. I knew they had to be beautiful colors, great fabrics and have certain shapes and proportions that worked together. This was my “aha” moment: a system of dressing that I’d been looking for ever since I abandoned my Catholic school uniform back in Des Plaines, Illinois.
Today we are 800 people strong with 44 stores in 14 states. Our warehouse-style corporate offices, located in Irvington, New York, were recently remodeled using natural lighting. These new spaces have contributed a lot to the way we work. By exchanging our cubicles for open work areas we are encouraged, inspired and informed by the people surrounding us. We are a company of passionate, engaged people who value our collaborative culture and are committed to connecting with our customers.
