Applicant and Candidate Privacy Notice

About Us

Named "The Fastest Growing Retailer in the US", Dolls Kill is a fashion brand that boldly empowers young women to celebrate their individuality. With over three million followers on Instagram, we've become a cult favorite among DJs, celebrities and artists around the world.

Based in Oakland, we have an amazing team of retail leaders, scrappy hackers, creative marketers and fashion trendsetters who are fun to work with and serious about what they do. We're also backed strong consumer-focused investors who share in our vision of building one of the world's next great consumer brands.

About The Role

The Apparel Designer supports Dolls Kill's product team in developing new styles across all categories (ready-to-wear, intimates, outerwear, etc.), from concept through tech pack. You'll design across our core categories, keep a close eye on what's happening in subculture and on TikTok, and turn it into product that sells.

Responsibilities

  • Design new styles based on trend direction and brand aesthetic
  • Sketch original designs by hand or digitally (Illustrator/Procreate) and translate concepts into clear, detailed design specs
  • Research trends across alternative fashion, festival wear, rave, goth, punk, and subculture-adjacent spaces to keep designs current and distinct
  • Select fabrics, trims, prints, and washes appropriate to cost targets and DK's aesthetic
  • Build and maintain tech packs: measurements, construction details, callouts, colorways, and trims for factories/vendors
  • Participate in fittings, give clear fit and construction comments, and push samples through revisions on time
  • Clear, direct communication with vendors and cross-functional teams

Qualifications

  • Understanding of our unique aesthetic and lifestyle
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating range across silhouettes, prints, categories and trims — bonus points if it already leans alternative/subculture
  • College degree in Fashion Design required
  • 5-7 years industry experience in fashion design required (apparel, footwear and/or bags/accessories)
  • Ability to sketch computerized vector flats in Adobe Illustrator (hand sketching is a huge plus)
  • Tech pack experience required
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Comfortable working independently and meeting deadlines within a freelance/contract structure
  • Experience using AI tools for ideation, mood boards, or rendering

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
