Showroom Assistant — Place Rouge

Location: Knightsbridge, London (2 Montpelier Street, SW7) Type: Full-time

About Place Rouge

Place Rouge is a London-based wholesale fashion agency with over two decades of experience connecting some of the world's most exciting brands with retailers across Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Founded by Audrey Manes and operating from our Knightsbridge showroom, we represent a carefully curated portfolio that spans contemporary to luxury — including VICTORIA BECKHAM, JACQUEMUS, ZIMMERMANN et ISABEL MARANT, and many more.

We're a small, close-knit team with big ambitions. We work hard, travel to our markets, and take pride in knowing our retailers personally. That personal touch is what sets us apart.

The Role

We're looking for a highly organised, proactive Showroom Assistant to join the Place Rouge team. This is a junior role, but don't be fooled — you'll be at the heart of everything we do.

Day-to-day, you'll support our account managers with the smooth running of the showroom and take ownership of the agency's admin operations. You'll also act as a part-time PA to our founder, Audrey Manes, helping her stay on top of a busy schedule.

When fashion week comes around, this role becomes even more critical. While the team is in full sales mode, you'll be the one holding the fort — keeping communication flowing, managing logistics, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

What You'll Be Doing

1. Supporting account managers with day-to-day tasks: scheduling, follow-ups, sample coordination, and client communications
2. Managing the general admin of the agency: filing, invoicing support, order tracking, and database upkeep
3. Acting as PA to the founder: diary management, travel logistics, correspondence, and ad hoc support
4. Keeping the showroom running smoothly during fashion weeks, when the team is focused on selling
5. Liaising with brands and retailers as needed, with a professional and warm approach
6. Helping prepare for and host buyers during showroom appointments

What We're Looking For

1. Impeccable organisation — you're the kind of person who lives by their to-do list and never drops a ball
2. A calm, can-do attitude, especially under pressure
3. Strong communication skills, written and verbal
4. Genuine interest in fashion and the industry — you know the brands, you understand the world
5. Previous experience in an admin, PA, or coordinator role is a plus, but not essential if you can demonstrate the right mindset
6. Comfortable working independently and taking initiative when the team is heads-down
7. Russian or Arabic is a strong plus but not mandatory

Why Place Rouge

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly respected, founder-led boutique agency at the centre of the fashion wholesale world. You'll be exposed to an impressive brand roster, build direct relationships with buyers and brand partners across Europe and the Middle East, and learn what it really takes to run a successful fashion showroom.
