      Majesty Black is an Independent Fashion Label of Luxury Gloves, Accessories & Accoutrements.Bali / Paris / Los AngelesAs Head of Manufacturing and Brand Manager, my focus was to oversee and direct our team of Tailors, Silversmiths and Administrative Staff at our manufacturing studio and Design Atelier in Bali, Indonesia. I was first in charge answering to the Creative Director & Founder. The range of responsibilities covered every aspect of business affairs including web store development, online orders, financing management and payroll. I moved to Bali and began overseeing our manufacturing team with key responsibilities that included but were not limited to: quality control, team Management and the successful production of multiple collections in line with the fashion calendar. I assisted in creation of each collection; from sampling and development to market release twice a year at Paris Fashion Week. My role in Fashion Week included managing our 16day Paris Showroom at PFW from beginning to end, setup to breakdown. I scheduled collection viewings, opened shop, met our wholesale and VIP clients, presented the collection and took deposits. Upon returning to Bali, I followed up with all purchase orders at PFW, payment followups, production management, quality control of product, Manufacturing Strategy, Design updating, troubleshooting product errors to ensure 100% client satisfaction and finally ensuring the orders delivery happened by deadline dates.

      Jan 2017 - Jan 2017
      Associate Designer

      Equites Clothing is a Luxury Lifestyle Brand aimed at launching the first 100% all natural and sustainable fashion label to the prestigious lifestyle of the professional Equestrian rider and followers of the sport. As Associate Designer I assisted in the sampling and development of the first collection including recruitment for outsourcing and hiring tailors, sewers, silversmiths and building an efficient team of likeminded individuals who shared a passion to see change in the fashion industry’s lack of environmentally conscious manufacturing practices. Our goal was to see the use of naturally sustainable fibers, with zero use of chemicals or synthetic materials, become an industry standard for improvement on a global scale. Show less
