Creative studio in Paris · Operational headquarters and all production management in Los Angeles.

Role Description

Full-time, on-site in Los Angeles, CA (Downtown LA / Arts District)

Apparel Manufacturing & Design Assistant (Asia-Focused Production)

This is an extremely high-speed, high-pressure role on a small, lean team. Production is 100% in Asia.

Expect daily 6–8 p.m. PT calls, last-minute Paris design changes, containers stuck at port, and zero tolerance for delays or excuses. If you move at warp speed, stay ice-calm under fire, and genuinely enjoy turning chaos into flawless deliveries, this is your arena.

Key Responsibilities

– Own every single style from Paris tech pack to warehouse receipt across multiple Asian factories

– Primary point of contact for all factories in China, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Indonesia; daily late-night calls are non-negotiable

– Relentlessly chase samples, lab dips, strike-offs, PP samples, and bulk production with zero slippage

– Build and maintain iron-clad relationships with factory owners while pushing them harder and faster than anyone else

– Plan capacity and secure factory slots 12–18 months ahead in an ultra-competitive Asian production landscape

– Execute all fabric, lace, trim, and embellishment purchases—hitting MOQs, negotiating aggressively, and never paying a penny more than necessary

– Instantly implement complex, often last-minute design changes from Paris without moving a single delivery date

– Negotiate pricing, surcharges, air-freight penalties, and payment terms like your margin depends on it (because it does)

– Manage end-to-end logistics: booking vessels, consolidating shipments, clearing customs, optimizing costs, and ensuring OTIF delivery

– Deliver bullet-proof, real-time production reports and cost updates to Paris creative and US sales teams every Monday morning—no exceptions

– Cold-outreach daily to new factories; expand our network and replace any partner that can’t keep up with our pace

You’ll Thrive Here If You Are

– 4–7+ years hard-core Asia production experience (luxury or contemporary womenswear; bridal/red-carpet a huge plus)

– Already have direct, proven relationships with top-tier factories in India & China.

– Expert in luxury fabrics, embroidery, beading, lace application, silk dyeing, and couture-level quality standards

– Extreme Excel mastery—complex cost sheets, critical paths, live production trackers updated in real time

– A documented history of shaving costs and lead times while increasing quality

– Naturally wired for speed: you think, type, and solve problems faster than anyone in the room

– Zero-complaint, solution-first mindset; you see problems 10 steps before they happen and kill them instantly

– Comfortable (and good at) working 50–60 hour weeks when needed and taking 9 p.m. WeChat calls without flinching

– Fluent in English; Mandarin and/or Vietnamese strongly preferred

This is not a 9-to-5 job. This is not a job for people who need hand-holding. This is a career-defining role for someone who wants to run production for one of the fastest-growing romantic luxury brands in the world—and can prove they were born for the pressure.

In-person only · Los Angeles HQ · Competitive salary (commensurate with speed & experience) · Health benefits · Clothing allowance · Paid travel to Asia when required.

• If you read this and felt a rush of adrenaline instead of dread—apply immediately.
• HUGE ABILITY FOR BONUSES & GROWTH!
