We're looking for a trend-focused Womenswear Designer to join the team at General Pants!

This is a hands-on role across the full product journey: trend, concept, silhouette, fabrication, graphic art and colour, through to tech packs, fittings and overseeing a smooth transition into production. You'll work with our Management, Buying, Planning, Design and Production teams, our garment technicians and our offshore suppliers to take a style from concept to best seller.
n
The successful candidate will live and breathe domestic and international trends for ***** year olds, with the ability to spot emerging directions and execute product concepts with strong commercial instincts and technical know-how.

What You Will Be Doing

n
Design monthly injection and seasonal ranges that look like us and nobody else, working across all product categories (denim, tops, dresses, knits, outerwear, swimwear, accessories)
n
Develop concepts, silhouettes, colour palettes, fabrications and design details from scratch
n
Read trend through our customer's eyes rather than reproducing whatever is currently on every rack in the country
n
Evolve the styles already working for us while introducing ideas that scare us slightly
n
Own the technical development of your styles from concept through to production, working to the critical path and hitting your milestones
n
Create detailed tech packs and specs for offshore suppliers that are clear enough to leave no room for improvisation
n
Select fabrics, trims and finishes that suit the design, the customer and the price point, backed by real knowledge of construction, fit, pattern making and production techniques
n




Run fittings with our garment technicians, landing product swiftly and executing form, function and proportion
n
Work directly with offshore suppliers, managing product development and communicating design intent precisely while solving construction, costing and product execution issues
n
Design to price and margin, read sell-through and customer feedback, and build ranges that stay balanced across category, colour, fabrication and price
n
Work closely with our CEO, Head of Product, and Buying and Planning teams to curate ranges and follow line plans
n
