Main purpose of the Cultural Scout (Trend & Concept) Associate for LPP team:

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. 

 

Major Responsibilities:

Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following. Other duties may be assigned.

  • Build mood boards, concept decks, and visual directions rooted in what you’re seeing 
  • Stay immersed in a hyper-current fashion scene—spending time in stores, neighborhoods, events, and digital spaces where newness is actually happening 
  • 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


Competencies

To perform the job successfully, an individual should demonstrate the following competencies:

  • 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


Minimum Qualifications

  • Basic understanding of garments and construction (enough to communicate ideas) 
  • Experience putting together visual references, decks, or creative presentations 
  • Photography, styling, or content instincts 


Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous experience in a similar role


A successful candidate works well in a dynamic environment with minimal supervision. As a REVOLVE affiliated company we all roll up our sleeves to pitch-in and do whatever it takes to get the job done. Each day is a little different, it’s what keeps us on our toes and excited to come to work every day.
