ABOUT NINETY PERCENT
Ninety Percent is a responsible London fashion label with a simple promise at its heart: we share 90% of our distributable profits between the people who make our collections happen and five charitable causes (Big Life, WildAid, BRAC, Children's Hope and War Child UK). Founded in London in 2018 by Para Hamilton and Shafiq Hassan, we design elevated, considered womenswear from our Camden studio and make it in a global network as well as our own award-winning factory, Echotex in Bangladesh, where zero wastewater production and worker welfare set the standard. Our collections are built on low-impact materials such as GOTS certified organic cotton, TENCEL, linen and MicroModal, and are designed for longevity. Clothes for the world we want.
THE ROLE
We are looking for a freelance Senior Designer to join our small London team, 3 to 4 days per week, based at our Camden studio. You will work closely with the brand's Directors, translating their creative vision into commercial, beautifully resolved collections across wovens and jersey. This is a hands-on role for a designer who can carry a product all the way from first sketch to final fit: research, CADs, tech packs, specs and fittings, working directly with our factories overseas.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Translate the Directors' creative vision into cohesive seasonal collections and core wardrobe styles
- Design across multiple product categories, wovens and jersey in particular, from dresses and shirting to soft tailoring, tees and sweats
- Produce clean, accurate CADs and build detailed tech packs ready for factory handover
- Create and manage specs and garment measurements; run fittings and communicate fit comments clearly
- Work day to day with production partners across multiple countries, primarily our own factory Echotex in Bangladesh
- Research fabric, trims, colour and trend in line with our low-impact material standards
- Contribute across the critical path in a small, collaborative studio where everyone stays close to the product
