MID CREATIVE
Womenswear Active & Sports Fashion
BDA London | Full-time | London
BDA London is looking for a Mid Creative with strong womenswear experience in Active and Sport Fashion who can translate trend, cultural insight, and retail analysis into clear product direction for clients.
This role is for someone who understands fashion through the lens of product, range logic, and customer reality, not just aesthetics. You should be comfortable discussing how ranges are structured, priced, and positioned in the real world of retail, not just creating visual inspiration.
You might currently be working in trend forecasting, buying, design, or product development and want to apply that thinking in a more strategic environment.
You’ll work closely with our creative leadership team to help clients turn insight into clear, commercially grounded product strategy.
THE ROLE
You’ll sit within BDA’s core creative team, leading defined workstreams across multiple client projects.
Your job is to help translate trend intelligence and cultural signals into clear product recommendations that support buying decisions, range architecture, and customer positioning.
You’ll contribute to client workshops, shape creative thinking, and ensure the work we produce is grounded in retail reality.
This role sits at the point where creative thinking meets commercial logic.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
