HerCampus BU: How did you start working for Superdry USA?
 
Michael Martens: There are thousands of jobs in retail, but very few where you have the opportunity to build a brand from the ground up. That is what I found with Superdry USA and what drew me to this position. I related to the product, the team, and the story of the brand. It has been a perfect fit.

HCBU: What do you do on a daily basis as the President of a clothing company?
 
MM: Every day is a balancing act of solving the day-to-day issues while spending enough time planning and strategizing for the future. Our team has been growing, so I’ve been spending more time working on our future retail expansion and wholesale strategy. We have some very exciting things in the works.

HCBU: What is your favorite part about your job?
 
MM: I love that every day is different. I come into work every day with a new set of challenges and opportunities. It’s about solving the challenges, learning from them, and working to maximize the opportunities. 

HCBU: How would you describe Superdry USA’s style?

MM: The unique thing about Superdry is that there really is something for everyone. From soft sport hoodies, to preppy button downs, to motorcycle-inspired leathers—any girl will find an amazing piece to add to her wardrobe. 

HCBU: What advice would you give to girls who are looking to be involved in the fashion industry?

MM: Work hard, network and follow up on any opportunities, and most importantly – intern! 

And, here is your chance to get involved with Superdry USA!
