Apparel Designer – Knits & Lounge (Womenswear Focus)

We’re looking for a creative and detail-oriented Apparel Designer to join our team, focusing on cut & sew knits, sweaters, and lounge categories. In this role, you’ll bring fresh ideas to life—from concept through execution—while balancing trend, brand identity, and commercial viability.

What You’ll Do

  • Design original apparel concepts across knitwear, sweaters, and lounge categories
  • Translate fashion trends into seasonal collections that align with brand direction
  • Create sketches, mood boards, and presentation materials to communicate design vision
  • Partner closely with sourcing, materials, and product development teams
  • Select fabrics, colors, and trims that support both aesthetic and performance goals
  • Participate in fit sessions and contribute to garment construction and fit improvements
  • Support seasonal line development from concept through production

What You Bring

  • 3–7+ years of experience in apparel design, with a focus on knitwear, sweaters, or lounge
  • Strong ability to conceptualize and execute original designs
  • Deep understanding of fashion trends, color, and fabric development
  • Experience working cross-functionally with product development and sourcing teams
  • Knowledge of garment construction, fit, and body blocks
  • A strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end design work

Nice to Have

  • Womenswear experience, especially in sleepwear or loungewear
  • Expertise in sweater design (yarns, stitch techniques, gauges)
  • Experience in fast-paced or high-volume retail environments
  • Exposure to global sourcing and vendor collaboration

Who You Are

  • A creative thinker who can turn trends into wearable, brand-right designs
  • Detail-oriented with a strong eye for fit, fabric, and finish
  • Collaborative and comfortable working across teams
  • Able to balance innovation with commercial impact

If you’re passionate about designing product that customers love and wear every day, we’d love to hear from you.
