We’re building a premium women’s going-out brand - confident, feminine, and elevated. Think sculpted silhouettes, rich textures, and refined minimalism that celebrates the female form.
We’re seeking a freelance fashion designer / technical designer to help us develop our first capsule collection of short occasion dresses, taking ideas from concept through to production-ready tech packs.
Scope of Work The designer will collaborate with the founder to bring the creative vision to life - focusing on both aesthetic innovation and technical execution.
1. Creative Design - Develop 6–8 short dress designs for the debut capsule collection (mini and midi lengths, going-out / cocktail focus). - Create sketches, moodboards, and silhouette explorations aligned with the brand direction (premium, modern, feminine). - Propose fabric selections (satin, jersey, mesh, crepe, structured cotton blends, etc.) suitable for both comfort and form retention. - Suggest colour palette, trims, and finishing details.
2. Technical Design - Produce detailed tech packs for each style — including flat sketches, construction notes, fabric specs, and measurements. - Support pattern development and ensure designs are production-ready. - Advise on fit adjustments and grading for XS–XL sizing (UK/AU standard). - Prepare sample review notes and iteration feedback where required.
3. Collaboration - Work closely with the founder and manufacturer (UK or overseas) to ensure design intent translates through sampling and production. - Be available for virtual check-ins and feedback sessions during design and sampling phases.
Deliverables - 6–8 finalised dress designs (with moodboard + sketches). - Tech packs (PDF format, production-ready). - Fabric and trim recommendations with sourcing notes.
Optional: fit sample feedback and iteration documentation.
Ideal Experience - 3+ years experience in womenswear design, ideally with premium / going-out / occasion brands. - Proven ability to deliver high-quality technical drawings and tech packs. - Strong understanding of fit, drape, and construction for bodycon / tailored silhouettes. - Experience liaising with overseas manufacturers and reviewing samples. - Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, CLO 3D, or equivalent CAD software. - Keen eye for proportion, detailing, and trend adaptation within a luxury aesthetic.
Timeline & Budget - Start: Immediately (October 2025) - Duration: Approx. 4–6 weeks for design + technical development - Budget: Open to proposals (please include your rate per design or project fee).
How to Apply
Please share: - Portfolio or lookbook of previous womenswear work (especially dresses). - Example tech packs or sketches (confidential elements can be redacted). - Your rates and typical turnaround times. - Any relevant brand experience or manufacturers you’ve worked with.
