Our portfolio of proprietary brands features Marika, Wildfox, Three Dots, and Balance Collection, while a partial list of licensing partners includes Orvis, Jessica Simpson, Eddie Bauer, and Woolrich.

With the capacity to produce over 75 million units per year, our mission continues to be making top-quality apparel accessible to everyone at an impressive value and an irresistible price.

Work Location

This position is based onsite at our current Bell, CA office and will transition to our new Beverly Hills, CA headquarters in Q1 2026 . Candidates must be able to commute to both locations.

About the Role

  • Independently own complex projects, from ideation through to production.

  • Provide creative strategy and present concepts to internal stakeholders and licensing partners.

  • Mentor and oversee junior designers; provide feedback and guidance on best practices.

  • Manage CAD sketches, construction details, tech packs, sourcing sheets, and BOMs.

  • Ensure all tech packs and design files are accurate and production-ready.

  • Guide fittings, review PP samples, and provide thoughtful feedback to tech/production.

  • Maintain and organize sample racks, design files, and approval trackers in PLM.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with merchandising, licensing, PD, and sales.

  • Photo/tag the line and prepare product shipments for buyers and licensors.

  • Create compelling trend and market analysis reports to support sales presentations.

  • Oversee market sample prep, fabric and trim boards, and showroom setup.

  • Provide clear construction direction to patternmakers and sewers.

Preferred Experience & Skills

  • 8 - 12+ years of experience in women's apparel design.

  • Mastery of Photoshop, Illustrator, and PLM systems.

  • Strong understanding of fabric, trim, and garment construction.

  • Proficient in color theory, trend forecasting, and market insights.

  • Effective communicator and cross-functional collaborator.

  • Leadership experience with the ability to develop and mentor junior designers.

  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage shifting priorities and timelines.

Qualities We Value

  • Innovative thinking with a commercial eye.

  • Ability to lead with confidence and humility.

  • Eagerness to grow, build skills, and elevate the team.

  • Strong presentation skills and a keen eye for emerging trends.

  • Collaborative, proactive, and solution-oriented mindset.

What's Ahead
Our team is excited to be moving to our new Beverly Hills corporate office in February 2026, featuring a collaborative, wellness-focused environment designed for creativity and growth. You'll play a key role in that transition—and in defining the creative spirit we bring with us.
