Senior Technical Designer - Men’s Denim
Footwear and Apparel Developer
Last week was a busy one for our clients, particularly for those who attended Manhattan’s semi-annual New York Fashion Week. This year’s events showcased a combination of both new and returning trends, including florals, bright yellows and pastels paired with brown, blazers, bustiers, boldly belted waists, and more. We loved watching the spotlight hit new brands who are focused on creating gender-neutral and size-inclusive fashion, like Private Policy, Eckhaus Latta, and Ester Manas. It was also an immense pleasure to support our client, 7 For All Mankind, as they made their first ever debut at NY Fashion Week.

Be Right with the TIME and you will be right with the TRENDS!
In today’s world where trends and styles change by the second, we all must take some time and think.
What is right for us? What is good for us? Will this be right for our planet and the next generation? Will this be good for our planet and our future generations?
As a mother, I want to let my kids know that life is full of opportunities, and we should make something great out of every experience! Together, we can fight adversity and find the cool, creative, happy side of life, despite the pain of dealing with extreme hardships. I want to tell them not to let our trials and tribulations define us, but to have hope and find beauty!
As a designer, I was fortunate enough to study and work with some of the amazing people in the industry and be inspired to create garments that are beautiful both inside and out. Not just good-looking designs is what makes a brand, but it’s the joy, love, and connection with people and nature that life gives it life!
With my last brand, we aspired to design with a purpose… To make you feel good, do good, & be good.
For 20 years I have continued to work in the industry, and am fortunate to represent and partner with brands that are defining, understanding, and making responsible fashion a trend!
My very first project as a Fashion Recruiting Account Director with Emerging Blue was to work with the Creative Director at Bolt Threads to help him grow his team of designers. As I dug deep to understand the company and their Brand DNA, I grew more and more in love with it!
Bolt Threads is “A BRAND INSPIRED BY NATURE. DESIGNING FOR THE FUTURE.” They are a ‘material solutions company with nature as [their] inspiration.’ and they ‘invent cutting-edge materials for the fashion and beauty industries to put us us on a path toward a more sustainable future.’
‘Through innovative collaborations with world-class brands and supply chain partners,’ Bolt Threads is on a mission to ‘create way better materials for a way better world.’
Their recent collaboration with brands like Stella McCartney, Lululemon, and Adidas makes it very real and available to masses!
I love their vision:
“We envision a world where we don’t have to deplete or pollute our forests, oceans, and rivers to benefit from nature’s secrets.”

With Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga, Adidas for Prada Re-Nylon, and hundreds more, you’ve probably noticed that there are more fashion brand collaborations right now than ever before. Collabs have become so explosive because of their ability to inspire new collections outside of brands’ typical styles, therefore introducing them to new audiences.
For some companies, there are full teams designated solely to creating and developing collaborations. Bay Area giant, Levi Strauss and Co., has an entire design and merchandising team dedicated to collaborations, producing approximately 24 collab collections per year! You can check out all of their collaborations here.
In addition to expanding brands’ reach, collaborations create new energy within brands. Using celebrities and influencers is a common strategy that helps these collabs better target their consumers and create interest at the celebrity level. Check out this brand new Levi’s collaboration with Naomi Osaka, Japanese tennis player, that just dropped a few weeks ago – right at the time of Wimbledon!
When it comes to the job market, collaborations create many new opportunities for jobs. Collabs require a unique, niche set of skills. By widening brands’ reach to new customers, designers, and creatives, collaborations create more opportunity for diversity and inclusiveness in fashion.
