- Incorporate trend insights while having the flexibility to create product ranges that can exist outside of the main collection trends.
- Ensure that all designs align with the brand’s aesthetic and quality standards.
Requirements:
- Minimum 5 years of experience in casualwear, loungewear, or related product design.
- Strong experience with embroidery and embellishment design on apparel.
