Job description

Fabletics is currently looking for an Associate Stylist.

How Do You Fit In?

The Associate Stylist supports the execution of our brand’s creative vision across e-commerce, editorial, and special projects. This role requires a deep understanding of fashion, exceptional styling ability, and the discipline to thrive in a fast-paced production environment.

The ideal candidate has a strong aesthetic eye, an impeccable sense of detail, and the ability to perform under pressure. Success in this role demands professionalism, endurance, and a commitment to excellence. The work is demanding — long hours, tight deadlines, and constant creative challenges — but offers unmatched growth for those who are ready to rise to the occasion.

This position will report to the Styling Manager.

What You Will Do

• Style and execute e-commerce looks that align with brand and editorial direction.
• Partner with the Styling Manager to prepare Styling Direction Decks, shopping lists, and pre‑shoot creative materials.
• Lead pre‑production styling preparation (Pre E‑com Pt. 1 and Pt. 2), ensuring all assets are organized and ready for execution.
• Maintain strict quality control on set, ensuring all looks feel elevated, cohesive, and brand‑right.
• Troubleshoot and adjust styling challenges quickly and effectively during fast‑paced shoots.
• Communicate clearly with Art Directors, Digital Techs, Hair & Makeup Artists, Talent, and Styling Assistants.
• Provide creative solutions that maintain brand consistency under shifting priorities.
• Maintain a well‑organized, fully stocked styling kit at all times.
• Collaborate with the Art Director to streamline workflow and increase production efficiency.
• Continuously research trends, competitors, and styling techniques to evolve creative expertise.

Required Skills

• Comprehensive Fashion Knowledge: Strong understanding of trends, styling principles, and visual composition.
• E-Commerce Styling Experience: Proven ability to execute premium, brand‑aligned looks.
• Attention to Detail: Precision in fit, proportion, color coordination, and presentation.
• Creative Agility: Ability to problem‑solve under pressure and pivot quickly during production.
• Professional Communication: Clear, respectful, and solution‑oriented with all creative partners.
• Organizational Mastery: Skilled at managing multiple projects and maintaining structure in high‑volume environments.
• Resilience: Comfort working long hours in a physically demanding, high‑performance setting.
• Technical Styling Ability: Deep understanding of apparel construction, accessories, and product coordination.
• Trend Awareness: Actively engaged with the evolving fashion landscape.
• Calm Under Pressure: Maintains composure and focus in a demanding production schedule.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Fashion, Visual Merchandising, Design, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 1–3 years of experience in professional styling, fashion production, or related creative field.
• Proven experience working on e-commerce, editorial, or campaign sets.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with cross‑functional creative teams.
• Familiarity with photo studio operations and production timelines.

The Associate Stylist role is hands‑on, production‑focused, and physically active. The environment is fast‑paced, high‑volume, and detail‑driven. Days can be long and physically demanding, requiring extended periods of standing, garment handling, and rapid turnaround between looks.

This position requires resilience, precision, and professionalism. Success means maintaining consistency under pressure and delivering creative excellence in every detail.

While expectations are high, the role offers significant opportunity for growth, mentorship, and exposure to all facets of brand styling and production.
