We are hiring
Built on the concept “As everyday wear, clothing is a tool, not a costume,” meanswhile sets aside surface-level fashion to create products that pursue function.
As our business grows, we are looking for new members to join our team.
We are looking for people who share the brand’s ideals and philosophy, and who take ownership of their work as they pursue their own dreams and goals.
meanswhile is run by a small team, and we work together across positions to run the brand.
This means you can draw on your own ideas and experience and be involved in a wide range of work.
We look forward to hearing from people who want to take an active part in growing the brand with us.
How we work
At meanswhile, we see clothing not simply as fashion but as “products,” and we develop them with a focus on balancing functionality and beauty in a way that fits into everyday life.
We use a wide variety of materials and parts, and when we find something good, we import it directly from overseas manufacturers as well as sourcing from within Japan.
In product development, we run product tests and keep updating our designs through repeated revisions.
Our production also involves more steps than at a typical apparel brand, and it can be demanding in many ways.
Beyond simply making and selling clothes, we aim to create an environment where staff take an interest in many things, use the products themselves, and approach their work proactively so that we can offer better products.
As a brand, our aim is to share ideas drawn from our own lifestyles — the things we love and the things we are good at — across the boundaries of our positions, and to bring them to the fashion market.
In addition to presenting two collections a year, we hold fashion shows, work on collaborations and run new projects, so the scope of your work can grow as far as your motivation takes it.
We look forward to applications from people who share the brand’s ideals and philosophy and would like to work with us.
