behind the studio

We build the
teams defining fashion's next era.

At Fashion Recruits, every member of our delivery team brings no less than a decade of high-level experience in the fashion industry.

Our approach is fundamentally different. As a strategic search partner dedicated exclusively to the fashion industry, we operate far beyond the scope of traditional recruitment. Through market expertise, instinct, discretion, and an actively engaged global network, we uncover desirable talent who align not only with a role, but with a brand’s identity, ambition, and future direction.

The result is talent chosen not simply for experience, but for the perspective, capability, and potential to influence what comes next.

we're built for a NEW reality.

Selective Client Portfolio

We partner with a maximum of five select clients at a time. By limiting engagements, we ensure the attention, strategic guidance, and market focus required to secure exceptional talent and deliver lasting results.

Strategic Search.
Tailored Intros.

Access Beyond Market

We identify and engage accomplished individuals who are succeeding elsewhere. Through discreet outreach and targeted search, we access talent often unavailable through traditional recruitment channels.

Brand Representation.

Brand Reflection Matters

Candidates often form their first impression of a company through the search process. We represent each client with care, sophistication, and precise attention to detail throughout every interaction.

Discreet Process.
Complete Confidence.

Confidentiality Is Key

Every search is managed with confidentiality, and respect for all parties involved. Whether replacing key leadership or building new teams, we ensure a disciplined and considered approach at every stage.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Behind every iconic brand is a hiring decision that changed everything.

JAE CREAM, FOUNDER AND CEO

Jae Cream, Founder and CEO

Behind every iconic brand is a hiring decision that changed everything.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jae was immersed in the city’s creative energy.

Beginning her first career as a professional dancer, she developed an understanding of how thriving teams operate behind the scenes, how precision, preparation, and collaboration determine winning outcomes long before they’re judged publicly. Her interest in the relationship between fashion and dance led to earning a Bachelor of Science in Apparel Merchandising & Management at Cal Poly Pomona.

Jae went on to enjoy over a decade in fashion, notably with LVMH and Kering, advising the world’s most influential clientele on Rodeo Drive. Once again honing her skills in an environment where every detail mattered, she developed a deep appreciation for the refinement, consistency, and elite talent that distinguish exceptional brands.

Pivoting from retail to recruitment, Jae spent several years with large agencies specializing in fashion placements, leading end-to-end search assignments. She learned that brands needed more than generalized recruitment support, they needed a dedicated talent partner with strategic industry expertise, strong representation, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

That realization led to the launch of Fashion Recruits.

where our network begins

We take on less, so Clients get more.
