Aspen Store Manager

ASPEN STORE MANAGER

Madhappy is a Los Angeles-based clothing brand made for a community of optimists, born in 2017. Madhappy uses apparel, events, and experimental retail spaces – including its permanent flagship in West Hollywood, New York City, and Malibu – to explore personal expression as a means to an improved state of mind. Its own seasonal stores – with past and present locations including Aspen, Miami, East Hampton, and Tokyo – are each designed to reflect their site while still sharing the brand’s DNA.

The brand currently produces a selection of ever‑evolving, evergreen classic styles, seasonally available collections and collaborations. Madhappy supports research and awareness in mental health through The Madhappy Foundation (a 501(c)(3) non‑profit) and writes Local Optimist, a print magazine. Each celebrates us as works‑in‑progress, and the personal and collective expression that is a part of that.
