Melisa Saraceni
Welcome to my fashion portfolio. I’m an accomplished & versatile apparel designer. Experienced in designing both luxury apparel as well as mass market price points, my specialty is womenswear: sweaters, knits & wovens.
I’ve consistently delivered positive results for brands throughout my career, most recently growing the Charter Club Cashmere business 11% from 2024-2025, & Charter Club Linen up 15%.. The sweater category for Dana Buchman I lead was the top selling private brand in 2015 at Kohl’s. Having helped launched Haven Well Within for Talbots, JLo & Vera Wang Princess for Kohl’s, I have experience building brands from the ground up.
A team oriented individual, I build strong relationships with cross functional partners and overseas vendors. I’ve managed teams of assistants, and mentored many junior designers, as well as newly hired associates & seniors.
Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about what I have to offer. Thank you!
