My client is a well-established London design studio, specialising in trend-led, commercially successful childrenswear for high-volume retailers including leading supermarket groups and high-street names with exciting opportunities continuing to grow across premium high-street and e-commerce brands.
With a strong understanding of the market, they excel at translating seasonal concepts into cohesive, age-appropriate collections that deliver commercial success.
We are looking for an experienced Senior Girlswear Jersey / Shape Designer to join their collaborative creative team. You'll work closely with the in-house graphics and print designers to develop end-to-end collections, from initial concept through to final product, in a fast-paced and inspiring environment.

You'll be responsible for creating commercially relevant silhouettes, ensuring exceptional fit and proportion, and balancing creativity with commercial requirements. Working alongside our talented graphics and print teams, you'll help deliver cohesive collections that meet the needs of some of the UK's leading retailers.
