We are a fashion retail group based in Dubai that wants to expand internationally! We need strong designers who can bring their international experience to build tons of new things (trends, collections, processes, AI tools...)! If you are curious to know more, Joanne, Michael or Anne-Christelle can have a quick chat with you. Hablamos español! We started as a denim specialist in 1988 and has grown into a leading regional fast-fashion retailer with over 600 stores, a strong online presence, over 7,000 employees and close to 1 billion USD revenue. We bring style and value to millions, offering clothing, footwear, and accessories for women, men, and children and starting new product lines – home and beauty.
