Ensure all designs reflect the brands aesthetic while pushing boundaries to keep collections fresh and exciting. Qualifications & Skills:
Design Expertise: Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, Textile Design, or a related field. 5-8 years of experience in knitwear/sweater design, preferably within a fast-fashion or Gen Z-focused brand. Exceptional taste level with a strong portfolio demonstrating a youthful aesthetic and 'young handwriting' in design. Technical Proficiency: In-depth knowledge of yarns, knitting techniques, stitches, and garment construction. Ability to create detailed tech packs and specifications for production. Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and familiarity with 3D design software (e.g., CLO3D, Browzwear) is a plus.
