I build high-performing fashion collections through buying, sourcing, and product development.
ChinaWhat I'm looking for
I've built fashion collections across denim, pants, outerwear, bridalwear, formalwear, and womenswear, combining trend research, product planning, and supplier management.
At BESTSELLER, I manage denim and pants categories from market insight and fabric sourcing through sample refinement, supplier negotiation, and production delivery. My work helped achieve a 101% VMD Index and a 115% Pants & TLR Index while improving supplier performance.
Previously, I led buying and development for outerwear and pants, delivering 100% on-time delivery and a 90% warehouse inspection pass rate. I also helped elevate a C-level supplier to main supplier status within one year.
My foundation in womenswear design, merchandise operations, and retail operations gives me a practical view of product performance from concept to customer. I'm especially passionate about sustainable fashion, trend forecasting, and cross-cultural collaboration.
