Swimwear Hiring Trends: What Brands Need Now

, , , ,

Swimwear has evolved. What used to be a seasonal drop is now a year-round category tied to travel, lifestyle, and everyday wear. Brands are doubling down on fit, design, and storytelling, and the right team behind the scenes is what makes it all work.

We’ve supported swimwear brands like Hermoza, Monday Swimwear, Minnow Swim, Everything But Water, Pacsun, and more as they’ve scaled their teams across design, digital, and retail. Here’s where we’re seeing the strongest hiring trends—and how we can help.

Technical Designers are a priority. Fit is everything in swim, and hiring talent who understands stretch fabric, performance construction, and size inclusivity can make a major impact. These roles often require specific experience that can be hard to find, especially when timing is tight.

Social and influencer marketing roles continue to grow. Brands are looking for people who can create and manage content, build partnerships, and keep up with the pace of digital without losing sight of the brand’s tone. We’ve helped build out these teams with candidates who know how to drive reach and relevance.

Merchandisers and Buyers are thinking beyond swim. As brands expand into apparel, accessories, and even beauty, we’re helping hire talent who can build smart assortments and bring new categories to life while staying aligned with brand identity and margins.

Retail and pop-up hiring is also picking up. From seasonal stores to resort activations, we help place in-store talent who can deliver great service and represent the brand well—often with tight turnaround times.

And freelancers continue to play a big role. Many brands bring in flexible talent across copy, design, email, or paid media to support product drops or campaign cycles. We place creative and digital freelancers who know how to hit the ground running.

Whether you're wrapping up summer or planning for resort and next year, we help swimwear brands find talent who understand the category and how to move with it. Let’s connect.

The Importance of a Personal Brand for Fashion Professionals

,

In an industry built on image and storytelling, your personal brand says as much as your resume. Whether you're a designer, buyer, merchandiser, or marketer, how you present yourself can help to open doors.

Your personal brand is the combination of your aesthetic, values, experience, and point of view. It shows up in your online presence, your portfolio, how you network, and even how you talk about your work. Think of it as your signature style, beyond the clothes.

Fashion professionals with strong personal brands stand out. They attract like-minded employers and collaborators. They create consistency across platforms. And they build trust with followers and decision-makers alike.

How to build your personal brand? Start simple: update your LinkedIn and portfolio with your latest work, share your insights on the industry, and be intentional about the projects you take on. Over time, your personal brand becomes a reflection of both where you’ve been and where you’re going.

At Emerging Blue, we work with brands looking for talent that brings more than just experience. A clear, authentic personal brand helps us connect candidates with teams where they can thrive. Connect with us!

How to Find a Role in the Fashion Industry

, ,

Breaking into fashion can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re just starting out. But the good news is, there’s no single path in. With a mix of strategy, consistency, and curiosity, finding your first (or next) role is within reach.

Start by bookmarking platforms like LinkedIn, Business of Fashion Careers, and Women’s Wear Daily. These sites regularly post openings across design, buying, PR, ecommerce, and more. Following your favorite brands directly on LinkedIn can also give you first dibs on new roles and insight into company culture.

Don’t underestimate the power of social. Follow fashion bloggers, stylists, and editors whose work you admire. These influencers often spotlight emerging brands and career opportunities you won’t find elsewhere.

Most importantly, connect with recruiters who specialize in fashion. Our team focuses on creative and corporate roles across fashion, home, and beauty—and we’re always looking to meet new talent.

Whether you’re a new grad or a seasoned pro looking to pivot, the right role is out there. When it comes to navigating the process, it helps to have someone in your corner. Connect with us today!
