Chris Stanko

Education and encouragement are the bookends to how Chris Stanko approaches fashion. With a background in shoe sales at Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue in addition to beauty sales with Christian Dior Parfums, the majority of his style knowledge comes from seeking it out himself. “You don't know what you don't know, so I gave myself the education.” He wants clients to feel fully seen and to learn a few things along the way.
