Job Description

Madhappy is a Los Angeles-based clothing brand established in 2017, designed for a community of optimists. The brand has quickly grown beyond traditional apparel by incorporating events and experimental retail spaces, including its permanent flagship store in West Hollywood. Madhappy’s approach to fashion is deeply rooted in personal expression aimed at fostering an improved state of mind and promoting mental health awareness. Their unique seasonal stores, located in vibrant cities such as New York City (SoHo), Aspen, Miami, East Hampton, and Tokyo, embrace their individual site aesthetics while uniting under the shared DNA of the Madhappy brand. The company not only produces a versatile range of classic styles but also features seasonally available collections and collaborations that resonate deeply with their community. Beyond apparel, Madhappy is committed to mental health advocacy through The Madhappy Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports research and awareness on mental health issues. The brand also publishes Local Optimist, a print magazine celebrating personal and collective growth as ongoing works-in-progress.
