About Me

 

My name is Kylie Mather I graduated from the College of Business at Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri. I received my Bachelor of Science in Fashion Merchandising with a minor in Marketing. The Merchandising and Fashion Design department at Missouri State University is unique, in that it is one of four fashion programs in the country that is apart of the College of Business. With a program that has an emphasis in business and product development, I have also been exposed to history of fashion, textiles,  product quality, construction, visual merchandising, merchandising mathematics, merchandise planning, fashion show production, entreprenuership, and graphic design courses . 

​

My work experience along with my excellent work ethic has given me numerous opportunities to learn and grow within the industry. At 18, I became an Assistant Manager at Justice for one of the top performing stores in the country. During this time, I gained knowledge of retail business, management, and how to be an efficent team-leader. I also gained industry experience such as, visual merchandising, creating a floor set map, inventory replenishment, and marketing.

 

In June of 2016, I completed an eight week internship, that turned into a full-time position at Somewhere Agency in London, United Kingdom. Somewhere is a fashion wholesale agency that carries brands such as: Baum und Pferdgarten, Love Stories Intimates, and Sol Sana. Our stockist include:  ASOS, Anthropologie, Net-a-Porter, John Lewis, Fenwick, Very Exclusive, and Brown Thomas. While interning I participated in daily wholesale buying activities that included: inputing and placing orders, organising and recording sample selections, communicating with company buyer(s), creating company campaigns, and booking appointments.
