Job Description
At COS, we believe in the power of creative collaboration and the art of timeless design. We are always eager to connect with freelance fashion designers who share our passion for modernity, functional elegance, and innovative craftsmanship. If you are driven to create garments that inspire—pieces that blend sophistication with practicality and elevate everyday wear—we would love to hear your story. We warmly welcome speculative applications from designers who want to shape the future of fashion alongside us.
As a freelance partner, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to concept development, push boundaries through design exploration, refine products, and infuse our collections with your unique vision.
Although we are keen to connect with talented designers at all stages of their careers, we are especially interested in meeting accomplished senior creatives with expertise and experience in the womenswear collection. Other candidates are welcome to register their interest for other freelance positions that may arise in the future.
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.

How to Apply
If you’re interested in being considered for upcoming freelance opportunities, please upload:
- Your CV

Please note that all freelance roles require spending a significant amount of time working from our beautiful, art-deco inspired office and atelier in central London. Regular commuting to London is therefore essential for anyone considering a freelance position with us.
