A sub-brand of Abercrombie & Fitch, Gilly Hicks is a retailer for teens and young adults, with a presence in over 500 stores globally. The brand is centered around movement, youthful optimism and effortless trend. As the lead Active and Lifestyle designer, my job was to support in the rebrand and long-term growth of Gilly: helping to grow the Male & Female Active businesses, develop a team of five designers, and maintain a balance of trend and core product.
