Hey, my name is Rebekah! I’ve been working in the fashion industry in Los Angeles for the past twelve years. When not at work I love vintage shopping, cooking, sewing, playing tourist in Los Angeles, trying new cocktails, and hanging out with my husband! I love all things fashion too, of course.
I graduated in 2013 from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. I received a well rounded arts education from a school that offered a challenging and varied curriculum.
I am lucky to have encountered a number of inspirational people who mentored me in the fashion industry. My first job out of university was at a couture boutique in Seattle, Vian Hunter. I traveled with Mrs. Hunter to San Francisco to visit her domestic production facilities. Mrs. Hunter was a designer featured on NBC’s show Fashion Star in 2012 and provided mentorship & advice on getting started in the fashion industry.
I moved to Los Angeles in early 2014, seeking more opportunity and landed at Under One Sky. This handbag, accessories, and softgoods company provided my first experience developing tech packs, working on monthly collections, and emailing daily with our China based team getting samples made.
I moved to Johnny Was in 2015. This was a different world for me, at a much larger company with no budget limits for designs. The team pushed our creativity under the helm of head designer Biya Ramar. I focused on embroidery development in Photoshop and assisted with silhouette development, fittings, and Illustrator CADs. I worked directly with the in-house pattern making team, cut & sewing room, as well as an overseas offices for sample development.
After a few years passed, I felt a growing interest in intimates, swim, and dance wear. In 2018 I moved to Carrie Amber Intimates, a woman owned company that offered private label, in house brands, and licensed brands. It was another big change where I learned more about the off-price market and designing for volume sales. I worked on multiple brands, developing seasonal mood boards, color palettes, and designs that dropped monthly. I covered sleepwear, shape wear, sexy, swim, bras, and underwear in both missy and plus sizes. I launched their licensed brand collection for Paris Blues Intimates and a private label festival swimwear line that sold to Dolls Kill, Yandy, and Fashion Nova.
During the Covid pandemic, I transitioned to working freelance at Savage X Fenty where I helped to launch menswear, loungewear, and specialty collections for Super Bowl 2023. I shortly joined the team as a full time employee, first as a CAD Designer and later promoted to Designer. I focused on Womens Intimates with ownership of all core product, as well as new developments. I helped to dream up beautiful collections and maintained processes across the seasonal calendar to meet tight deadlines.
In April 2025 I followed a new opportunity to Honeylove where I currently work as a Designer. I work on bras and undies with a focus on innovation and technical constructions. Honeylove is continuing to expand their offering in exciting avenues that I am helping to support.
Thanks for spending the time to learn more about me! -Rebekah
