@mariselouw
I design, develop, and buy commercially successful apparel ranges.
What I'm looking for
At Sportsmans Warehouse, I design and buy local and international apparel ranges, from fabric sourcing and trend forecasting to product pricing, margins, seasonal budgets, and launches. I develop swimwear for women, girls, men, and boys, including tech packs, packaging, screen prints, and sublimation prints.
Previously at Performance Brands and Eurotex Clothing, I created apparel designs, CAD work, storyboards, colour boards, technical packs, and product concepts across gymwear, tenniswear, trek wear, accessories, ladieswear, and menswear. I work closely with suppliers to achieve accurate fit, measurements, quality, production timing, and profitable costing.
My passion is in the design phase of fashion, where I bring creativity to my designs and storyboards while continuously learning, improving, and supporting my team.
