ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Fashion Designer who thrives on pace and can turn emerging trends into product quickly. This role suits a commercially minded,
adaptable designer who loves the energy of a reactive environment and can move from concept to final product with speed, accuracy and a strong eye for what our customer wants now.
You will design across a broad mix of categories, balancing trend-led and core commercial styles that reflect MESHKI’s aesthetic and perform at speed.
Please ensure your application includes an up-to-date portfolio with CAD examples and resort or warm-weather product.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Design from initial concept to final product, delivering a balanced mix of trend-led and commercial pieces across entry through exit price points.
- Respond quickly to emerging trends, social and influencer movements, and sell-through performance, turning insights into reactive styles and chase opportunities on tight timeframes.
- Develop mood boards, colour palettes, sketches and silhouettes that bring seasonal and in-season concepts to life while flattering diverse body shapes.
- Conduct ongoing trend and market research, including social media, street style, store visits, consumer behaviour and competitor movement.
- Create clear, accurate tech packs and work closely with Garment Tech to ensure designs are translated into final product on time, on budget and to MESHKI’s quality standards.
- Lead fittings and make quick, considered adjustments to achieve the right fit, finish and construction.
- Select fabrics and materials with a focus on cost, availability, suitability and speed to market,
while championing preferred fibres and lower-impact alternatives wherever possible.
- Collaborate closely with Buying, Merchandising, Garment Tech and Marketing to align designs with commercial goals, range architecture and drop schedules.
- Review weekly sell-through data and take accountability for product performance, using commercial insight to inform repeats, reworks and future designs.
- Support and guide a Design Assistant within your POD, delegating effectively and providing regular feedback.
- Contribute to a high-performance culture built on accountability, proactive communication and solution-focused thinking.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO BRING
- 3+ years of fashion design experience, ideally within a fast-paced, trend-driven or DTC environment.
- A strong portfolio showcasing commercial, trend-led design capability.
- A Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design or a related field.
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop), CAD software and other design tools.
- Solid knowledge of garment construction and fabric properties.
- A sharp commercial instinct and the ability to translate trends into best-selling product quickly.
- Comfort working to short lead times, shifting priorities and multiple drops at once.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills and a team-oriented approach to working with cross-functional teams.
- Strong attention to detail, with a focus on quality and fit even at pace.
- A deep passion for fashion and a strong understanding of the MESHKI brand identity and values.
- A positive, can-do attitude and a collaborative spirit that contributes to a supportive and inspiring team environment.
Please be advised that we are not engaging recruitment agencies for this hire and will not consider any unsolicited resumes.
