  • Sketch accurate garment flats using Adobe Illustrator
  • Occasionally update and maintain seasonal linesheets
  • Partner with the Design team to ensure technical details and design intent are accurately communicated to vendors
  • Review and update tech packs based on samples, comments, and development changes
  • Support the Design team with additional product development needs as deadlines require
  • Manage multiple styles and deadlines while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail
  • Help troubleshoot technical and construction-related questions throughout the development process

What You Bring

  • 5–7 years of apparel design experience, preferably within the contemporary RTW market
  • Experience designing dresses and women's ready-to-wear
  • Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Fashion Design or related field preferred
  • Strong proficiency in Excel-based tech packs
  • Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator
  • Ability to create clean, accurate technical flats
  • Strong understanding of garment construction, fit, fabrication, and technical specifications
  • Ability to accurately spec garments and provide detailed construction callouts
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with a Design team
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines
  • Proactive, solutions-oriented approach with the ability to quickly adapt to changing priorities

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Apparel Designer who enjoys the technical and product-development side of design and can step in quickly to support a talented team. If you have strong tech pack expertise, a solid understanding of garment construction, and experience in contemporary RTW, we'd love to hear from you.

The expected base salary for this position ranges from $40-55/hour. Ranges are based on various factors such as relevant skillset, training, years of experience related to the current job description, education, and our organizational structure.

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.
