Helping you get hired in fashion with clarity and confidence
Meet Your Career Coach
Hi, I'm Chrissie Carter
Director of Talent | Fashion Recruiter | Career Coach
Whether you found me through LinkedIn, a campus talk, or through one of my behind‑the‑scenes recruiting clips, I’m glad you’re here.
I started Let Me Style Your Career after asking myself:
“What do I wish someone had shown me when I was trying to build a career in fashion?”
For the last 17+ years, I’ve built my career inside the fashion industry, interviewing, hiring, and making final decisions for brands like BCBG, Ann Taylor, Michael Kors, Aritzia, Apple, and Veronica Beard.
I’ve read well over 100,000 résumés and hired thousands of people into retail and corporate roles: students landing their very first job, moms returning to work, and professionals pivoting into fashion after years in another field.
Today, as Director of Talent at Veronica Beard, I lead recruiting with a people‑first, brand‑aligned approach. I work directly with executives, train teams on how to interview, and help build inclusive, high‑performing teams that deliver an elevated client experience.
I share a lot of free advice on social media, in schools, and at events. But when we work together one‑on‑one, we slow down and focus entirely on you, your story, your confidence, and the exact roles you’re aiming for. We take the guesswork out of résumés, applications, and interviews, and zero in on what actually gets you moved forward in fashion hiring.
If you’re ready to stop guessing, feel confident in how you’re showing up, and finally pursue the fashion career you’ve been thinking about for years, you’re in the right place.
This is for you if you…
- are a fashion student or recent graduate working toward your first role
- are seeking your first or second fashion internship
- have or are pursuing a fashion related degree and want a corporate position
- are switching careers and determined to break into the fashion industry
- work in retail and are ready to transition into a corporate role
- are navigating a career reset and want work aligned with your passion for fashion
- are a fashion recruiter who is struggling and wants to attract top fashion talent
- are ready for clear, personalized guidance rather than generic advice
