OMNES is a modern, sustainable and cost-conscious women’s fashion brand, designing ethically crafted clothing. OMNES means ‘all’, a reflection of the fact that we all need to work together to change the way we shop, wear and think about fashion. OMNES focuses on timeless designs with playful pops of print and colour and a considered approach to how their pieces fit bodies of all shapes and sizes. OMNES was founded in London in 2021 to address the gap in access to better wardrobe choices and create a brand that would speak to this unmet need.
The fashion industry is one of the world’s most prolific polluters, with millions of tonnes of textiles ending up in landfill every year, and global supply chain workers being underpaid and exploited. The detrimental impact is vast, and improving the ways it operates could make a truly positive difference to the future of our planet and global community. OMNES strives to act as a responsible global citizen, treating the Earth with respect, and aiming to contribute to its repair.
The role
We are looking for a Freelance Casuals Designer to help develop and strengthen our everyday product offer.
You will work closely with the design and buying teams, to create commercially strong casual product that gives customers more reasons to shop OMNES beyond occasionwear. The focus will be on elevated, wearable, repeatable pieces that feel current, distinctive and commercially scalable.
