Director, Corporate Social Responsibility

Steve & Barry's is about change. It's about changing the way that consumers shop for their clothes and changing the way that retailers cater to them. Steve & Barry's is about stripping away the gloss and giving consumers something real. The fact is that great clothing doesn't really have to cost that much. It's a simple idea, but also a big idea-big enough, that is, to turn the industry on its ear.

By delivering on our promise to provide premium apparel at impossibly low prices, Steve & Barry's is single-handedly changing the retail landscape. We're busting the model. Steve & Barry's significantly impacts whole communities, rejiggers shopping patterns, alters local economies, and sometimes even changes lives for the better.
