The posting
Empowering Women. Transforming the World. Before it was called activewear, Lorna Jane imagined it, designed it, and defined it - creating a movement that redefined how women move, dress and live. Today, we lead with purpose, creating elevated product that supports movement, confidence and modern life. Guided by conscious design and a considered eye, we believe in the power of women to create change that goes far beyond what they wear. At Lorna Jane, you don't just join a brand - you help design what's next. The Opportunity This is a rare opportunity to shape product at one of Australia's most recognised fashion brands. As Designer, you sit at the centre of every collection - from first sketch to final fitting - translating trend, fabrication and silhouette into product that elevates desirability and connects with her. We're looking for a designer with a genuine love of fashion - someone who reads the runway as fluently as the street, who thinks in silhouette, drape and proportion, and who's honed that eye designing collections at a premium or well-regarded fashion brand. You think creatively, and you work closely with others to get it right: sourcing fabrics that protect our premium reputation, sketching true-to-form, and holding the line on quality until every garment is right.If you've got an eye for what she wants to wear before she knows she wants it - this is your brief.
