Our brand has also extended to three shop-in-shops at Bergdorf Goodman, Hirshleifers, and at Selfridges.

With steadfast perseverance, he methodically rose through the ranks from floor salesman to assistant manager to eventually becoming head buyer. Collaborating with brands that have stood the test of time, Kith aligns itself with brands and ideations from Fieg's childhood that cohesively formalized the roots of his upbringing. Conceptualizing Kith as an extension of himself, Fieg seeks to shift the current landscape of fashion, while operating under a personal philosophy of giving the consumer more than what they pay for.Job descriptionThe Operations Manager organizes and monitors inventory levels to maximize efficiency.
