Background

About Dylan Shoosh

Los Angeles–based designer currently pursuing my BFA in Fashion Design at Otis, where I’m refining my skills in pattern drafting, garment construction, tailoring, illustration, and digital design. My training builds on several years of hands-on industry experience that shaped how I approach both craftsmanship and storytelling in design. I spent over three years at Madhappy, moving through multiple roles across the company. I began in production, learning the full process of how garments are made — from cut and sew to dye houses and finishing. Over time, my role expanded into marketing, where I oversaw influencer relations, styling, and gifting programs for VIP clients and celebrities. After years of immersing myself in the brand, I transitioned into design, contributing to product development and new collections. Between years at Otis, I completed a summer internship at GUESS Inc, supporting design across Guess Originals, Guess Jeans, and Guess USA. There, I created flats, tech packs, and trend boards, gaining a closer look at how large-scale collections come together. Outside of work, I run Laurel Way, a brand I founded at 16 that has grown into my evolving design playground — a space to explore new design concepts, cross-industry collaborations & fundraising projects, graphic design & garment dyeing techniques, and creative direction.
