About KCT Menswear
KCT Menswear has been dressing Southwest Michigan since 1983. We're a family-owned formalwear retailer with stores in Downtown Kalamazoo and at Crossroads Mall in Portage, specializing in suits, tuxedos, wedding parties, prom and custom tailoring.
The Role
We're looking for a creative Visual Merchandiser to style our mannequins and keep our store looking sharp. This is a flexible, part-time role: you'll come in about once a week or once every two weeks for a full day (typically 6–10 hours) to refresh mannequins, windows and in-store displays. A great fit for a display artist, stylist or fashion student with an eye for menswear who wants steady, creative side work.
What You'll Do
- Dress and style men's mannequins in suits, tuxedos and seasonal looks (wedding, prom, holiday)
- Design and set window and in-store displays that drive sales
- Rotate displays to feature new arrivals, promotions and seasonal collections
- Steam, press and prep garments so every display looks crisp
- Coordinate colors, ties, vests, shoes and accessories into complete outfits
- Re-merchandise racks, tables and wall displays for a clean, shoppable layout
- Take photos of finished displays for our website and social media
What We're Looking For
- Experience in visual merchandising, mannequin styling, retail display or fashion styling
- A strong eye for menswear fit, color and coordination
- Comfortable on your feet for a long day and able to lift and move mannequins (up to 50 lbs)
- Reliable and self-directed: able to work independently and finish a full refresh in one day
- Portfolio or photos of past displays is a plus
Schedule
- One full day every 1–2 weeks (about 6–10 hours)
- Extra days may be available during prom and wedding season
- Days are flexible and scheduled in advance
What We Offer
- $20–$25/hour depending on experience
- Employee discount
- Flexible scheduling
- Creative freedom to shape the look of our stores
