DC - K Street - Store Stylist

About this role

The Stylist works directly with customers to build brand affinity and long-term relationships in our DC - K Street showroom.

About our company

M.M.LaFleur is a female-founded womenswear company based in New York City. We believe the world is a better place when women succeed, so we celebrate the modern woman through our clothing, styling, and community. Our thoughtfully designed pieces are practical, comfortable, and beautiful, and we hope that when you wear them, you feel like the most polished and powerful version of yourself. Our goal is to take the work out of getting dressed—whether that means heading to the office, networking over brunch, leading PTA meetings, or anything in between.

M.M.LaFleur is redefining "brick and mortar." We aim to create a revolutionary experience for our customers who love great style but have minimal time to shop. Our key differentiator is our hyper-personalized customer service and we want you to be on the ground floor of building that experience.

Who are we?

We're a group of go-getters who are passionate about reimagining the way women shop and dress for work and life. We get inspiration from our customers, and everything we design has a purpose and a human touch. We think big, but we sweat the details, and we take our work (but never ourselves) seriously. We're steady but nimble, thanks to a whip-smart, energetic team that's not afraid to be scrappy. We are perfectionists who sometimes spill on our clothes—we own our mistakes, turn challenges into growth, and evolve as we learn. We embrace ambiguity, celebrate weird ideas, and love a work in progress. We are kind but direct, and we practice Kizukai—a Japanese word that means "empathy in action." We are incredibly proud of the team we've built, and we're excited to continue evolving as we grow.
