Cultural Scout (Trend & Concept) Associate, L
About The Position
The Owned Brand division within REVOLVE is an industry-leading fashion design and production house based in Los Angeles. Leveraging the power of REVOLVE’s data driven merchandising, combined with raw creative talent, results in an unparalleled ability to identify specific market niches and develop brands that each have their own identity, designed with a distinct consumer interest and personality in mind. At REVOLVE the most successful team members have the thirst and creativity to redefine fashion retail for the 21st century, making REVOLVE the leading online retail destination targeted towards Millennial and Generation Z consumers seeking premium fashion. With a team of 1,000 strong, we are a dynamic bunch that are motivated by getting the company to the next level. It’s our goal to hire high-energy, diverse, bright, creative, and flexible individuals who thrive in a fast-paced work environment. We’re looking for a highly instinctive, taste-driven creative who is deeply embedded in a specific, emerging fashion landscape. This is not a traditional design role, it’s about proximity to culture. You’re not just observing trends—you’re already in them. You’re out in the right places, paying attention to the right people, and naturally tuned into what feels new, relevant, and directional before it becomes widely visible. This is a part time or full time role about bringing that trending, on-the-ground perspective into the team. This position will report to the LPP Sr. Director and will work seamlessly with our current team members.
Requirements
- Exceptional taste and a strong visual instinct - you know when something works without overanalyzing it
- Genuine cultural proximity: you’re already part of (or adjacent to) a younger, trend-forward fashion community
- A natural habit of being out in the world: shopping, exploring, documenting, and noticing
- Strong awareness of niche and emerging brands, not just mainstream trends
- Ability to articulate your point of view, even if it’s intuitive rather than technical
- A perspective that feels current, specific, and personal—not broad or overly commercial
- Strong communication, collaboration, and organizational skills
- Comfortable working in a very collaborative, creative, fast paced, and agile environment
- Flexible personality willing to take direction and change as business needs change/grow
- Basic understanding of garments and construction (enough to communicate ideas)
- Experience putting together visual references, decks, or creative presentations
- Photography, styling, or content instincts

- Surface emerging brands, aesthetics, and shifts as they’re forming, not after they’ve peaked
- Bring in a constant flow of references, images, and ideas pulled from real-world observation
- Effectively partner with the team to translate instinct and references into product direction
- Contribute a clear, opinionated point of view on what feels right now and what’s coming next
- Complete ad-hoc tasks and assignments as directed by management
