Description:Official Rebrand is Brooklyn-based gender-free and sustainable clothing brand, founded and run by non-binary artist MI Leggett. The brand upcycles pieces, breathing new life into what was one once been considered waste. The reclaiming or “rebranding” process proposes a sustainable alternative to the typical structure of the fashion businesses. This transformation also renders the pieces gender-free, as gender-fluidity is central to business, social, and design ethos.
We are looking for interns who are idealists and self-starters, ready to pursue new ways to do business with sustainability and social good at the center of our purpose.
We are a small company with a large demand and an atypical structure, making this a great place to experience and actively participate in the building of an innovative new fashion company. Sales, design, and production all work in the same space as the founders.
