We are looking for a talented and commercially minded Scarf & Print Designer to join our fast-paced design team on an 8-month contract.
You will be responsible for developing fresh, trend-led scarf and print designs for high street fashion customers, balancing creativity with strong commercial awareness. You will work across seasonal collections, developing artwork from initial concepts through to final production-ready designs.
This is an ideal role for a designer who is passionate about print, colour, and fashion, with a strong understanding of the high street customer and the ability to translate trends into commercially relevant product.

- Create trend and concept boards to communicate seasonal direction and design ideas.
- Develop colour palettes and colourways appropriate to the customer and brand.
- Design across a variety of scarf formats, including printed, woven, and embellished styles.
- Create repeat patterns and placement artwork, ensuring designs are technically suitable for production.
- Adapt and recolour artwork efficiently to create commercially strong options.
- Work closely with the wider design, buying, and product development teams to develop cohesive collections.
- Respond quickly to customer briefs and develop designs to tight deadlines.
- Present design concepts clearly and confidently to internal teams and customers.
- Work with suppliers and factories to ensure artwork is accurately interpreted and produced.
- Review strike-offs, samples, and colour standards and make amendments where required.
- Maintain organized artwork files and ensure all designs are production-ready.
- Stay aware of competitor activity and key high street trends to ensure designs remain fresh and relevant.
