About Us
Nothing is clearer to us than the belief that every woman should include strength training in her life to enhance both physical and mental well-being.

About you:
We're looking for a Senior Stylist with a strong visual eye and a real point of view, who can bring an editorial standard to everything we shoot. You'll work as part of a team of three, made up of a Stylist and the Style Editor, working across e-commerce, campaigns and content.
You'll take the seasonal styling direction set by the Brand Director & Style Editor and translate it into fully realised looks on set, protecting the creative standard on everything from a campaign hero image through to the smallest detail, and help to direct freelance stylists and assistants on shoots.
You’ll be responsible for:
Translating the Styling Direction:
- Work closely with the Style Editor to understand the seasonal styling direction and translate it into practical, repeatable styling principles for campaign and creative shoots.
- Contribute styling concepts and fashion story ideas for seasonal campaigns and lookbooks, in line with brand storytelling and commercial priorities.
- Help build and maintain style guides for campaign and creative shoots, in line with brand guidelines.
- Act as Style Guardian for campaign and creative shoot content, ensuring styling stays consistent and on-brand as the season evolves.
- Collaborate with the Style Editor and Studio team on mood board development for campaigns.
Delivering on Set:
- Lead on-set styling for campaign and creative shoots, including pre-shoot prep, fittings, run-throughs, and on-set decision-making.
- Make fast, confident calls on set that protect both the creative standard and the shoot schedule.
- Style talent in the correct size garments, making any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal fit and visual consistency.
- Observe and fine-tune garment presentation for each shot, adjusting for lighting, posture, and movement as required.
- Maintain styling flow and continuity, ensuring outfits are shot in the correct order and in line with shoot plans.
- Direct freelance stylists and styling assistants supporting campaign shoots.
- Travel internationally as required to support campaign and creative shoots.
Owning the Process:
- Oversee the organisation and preparation of samples and accessories for shoots, flagging with the product team and styling team if anything is late or missing.
- Be aware of the critical path, key deadlines and requirements and manage workload accordingly.
- Work with production and the Studio team to keep styling running to the critical path, flagging risks early.
- Communicate any sample-related issues from the shoot to the Photo & Video team for appropriate retouching and follow-up.
- Manage the process of ensuring that all samples used in shoots are cleaned, and returned to the relevant team.
Working Across the Business:
- Partner with Merchandising, Buying, and Design teams so campaign styling supports product functionality, sell-through goals, and commercial priorities.
- Work with Partnerships and Social teams to ensure styling is consistent across campaign-related activations.
- Feed styling performance data and insight on what's landing back to the Style Editor to inform future styling strategy.
- Attend product briefing sessions ahead of campaign shoots to ensure styling is communicated in the campaign and e-comm as intended.
- Stay ahead of fashion trends, cultural moments, and competitor styling to inform campaign styling decisions.
What Success Looks Like:
- Campaign and creative shoot imagery has an editorial standard that lifts the brand.
- Shoots run to schedule because samples, prep and styling decks are organised ahead of the day.
- The Style Editor can hand over a campaign’s direction and trust it will be interpreted properly.
- Freelance stylists and assistants arrive briefed and delivered to a consistent standard.
- You spot what isn't good enough before anyone else has to raise it.
You’ll need to have:
- 5+ years' proven experience in a styling role within campaign, editorial, or creative production, ideally within an activewear, e-commerce, or lifestyle brand.
- A strong visual eye and genuine editorial sensibility - you know what makes an image feel elevated rather than just correct.
- Proven experience styling both campaign and e-commerce content, and an understanding of how differently each needs to work.
- Willingness and ability to travel internationally for shoots.
- Highly organised, with real command of samples, rails, styling decks and critical path.
- Confident directing on set under time pressure, and briefing freelance stylists and assistants.
- Strong commercial instinct, comfortable balancing creative ambition with product and sell-through priorities.
- Excellent communicator who can hold their ground with stakeholders and explain the thinking behind a styling decision.
