Our team carefully curates a mix of local and international labels, working collaboratively to develop exclusive styles and collections that give our customers head to toe outfitting options for every occasion.

Today, we're proud to be recognised as one of Australia's leading youth fashion retailers. We've built and grown brands such as Neovision, Common Need, Luck & Trouble, and Worship, and we continue to partner with global favourites including Lee, Wrangler, AS Colour, Calvin Klein, Stussy and Abrand. As our business has expanded, we've welcomed the Perfect Stranger and Thrills Co brands into our portfolio, allowing us to offer an even broader range of fits, styles and pieces that reflect the diversity of our customer base.

  • Embed a positive, inclusive and high-performing team culture

Skills and Experience

  • Proven ability to drive sales and lead high-performing teams
  • Strong understanding of retail financials, KPIs and cost management
  • Highly organised with the ability to plan, prioritise and adapt
  • A passion for fashion retail and delivering outstanding customer experiences

What We Offer

  • Supportive leadership team and collaborative culture
  • Generous and achievable bonus structure
  • Staff discounts across our brands
