OPTIMISTICALLY AUTUMN | KIT AND ACE FW20

movement coach Joshua Haban
A full circle moment after working at Kit and Ace as a Key Leader and Visual Merchandiser to set sail on another contract with Disney Cruise Lines. The stylist, Emma Watt, contacted Joshua for this campaign. Joshua loved working with models Jamila and Scott (Stranger Agency and Lizbell Agency) in Vancouver to get them comfortable in front of the camera while showing of this new line. Of course before the models got to set, Joshua hopped on and tried out some poses for Brian and Rob to see. Trampolines are fun at any age.

VISUAL MERCHANDISING | WINDOW DRESSING | SET DEC
During retail contracts around Vancouver, Joshua took an interest in visual merchandising and window dressing. After working his way up at Bench as a key leader and VM for the Guildford store front and New West outlet centre, Joshua took what he learned and the experience gained and applied it to his contract at Kit and Ace.
Led by Emma Watt, Joshua and team created and executed floor layouts, tablescapes and window displays to reflect the company’s seasonal campaigns and initiatives. Most recently, Joshua and Emma partnered to create the opening look for Kit and Ace’s Park Royal (pictured above alongside FW2019 VM)
During the global pandemic, Joshua took on a holiday seasonal contract at Guildford Town Centre lululemon and took a Product and VM Lead position shortly after the new year. Joshua worked with Tiffany Chan to help the team execute HQ directives including the Earth Dye collection (pictured above), which was the first gender neutral display for the company. He was also the VM lead for the new Take Form mat.
