LOS ANGELES, CA (November 18, 2013) – Alternative, the industry-leading fashion lifestyle brand best known for comfort, simplicity and its commitment to sustainability, appoints Scott Roslyn as the company’s new vice president of direct retail. Adding to a dynamic new executive staff, Roslyn will support the brand’s growing retail footprint by overseeing all direct channels including e-commerce and proprietary doors across North America. Roslyn will work from Alternative’s New York City office, reporting directly to President and Chief Merchandising Officer Erik Joule.
