Brenna Yeager.
Los Angeles based Fashion Designer & Trend Reporter.
Women’s and Junior’s Fashion Designer with over 14 years of experience in the industry and 10 years in Fashion Design.
I specialize primarily in Dresses & Soft Wovens, more specifically elevated RTW, occasion and costume wear.
My focus is centered on the Next Gen customer, blending relevant cultural touchpoints, proven sales data, and emerging trends to develop forward-thinking, trend-led collections.
Currently, I work as a Trend Consultant for Weissman Costumes and freelance across Los Angeles and with international clients, offering design and trend direction services across womenswear and costume.
I graduated from FIDM Los Angeles, where I began my career as a Design Assistant at For Love & Lemons.
After graduating, I joined Decor Apparel as an Assistant Designer, working across multiple private label accounts. I was later promoted to Associate Designer for Who What Wear at Target, where I contributed to seasonal collections and high-profile collaborations, including Rachel Comey x Target and LoveShackFancy x Target.
At Decor, I also served as a Trend Reporter, curating weekly streetwear and runway reports that guided concept development, color palettes, and material direction for in-house design teams.
Following this, I joined Forever 21 as a Designer in the Contemporary & Going Out category, specializing in Dresses and Special Occasion. There, I led multiple Occasion capsules from concept through final product.
My skill set focuses on balancing cultural insight with product readiness. I closely track emerging cultural shifts and youth-driven narratives, translating them into trend-forward, commercially viable collections that resonate with the Next Gen customer.
Design Process
My design process begins with pulling inspiration from current runway trends and sourced vintage goods. I curate my ideas and on physical boards with rough sketches, colors and fabrics. I then continue to illustrated CADs with fully sourced fabrics and trims.
I specialize in women’s & juniors RTW dresses and elevated wear.

Trend Process
Along with my design background, my trend reporting includes an immersive trend process and trend direction. I utilize my natural observant behavior and creative eye to capture the latest and greatest trends.
I often reference vintage, runway and street style for my trend direction.
I consult on fabric, color, trim, and silhouette direction.
