ROLE OVERVIEW
We are seeking a highly collaborative Technical Designer to act as the primary technical partner to our Design Team. In this role, you won't just manage specs; you will translate creative concepts into production-ready garments while maintaining the "soul" of the design. The ideal candidate has a sophisticated eye for contemporary women’s trends and the technical prowess to execute complex silhouettes.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Design Partnership: Collaborate closely with the Design Team from the initial sketch phase to identify potential construction challenges and offer technical solutions that preserve the design intent.
Fit Development: Lead fit sessions on live models, capturing the Designer's feedback and translating it into precise technical instructions and pattern corrections.
Technical Packages: Create and maintain comprehensive tech packs including detailed construction sketches, graded measurement charts, and bill of materials (BOM).
Prototype Review: Evaluate prototypes for fit, drape, and proportion, ensuring the contemporary aesthetic and quality standards are met at every stage.
Vendor Communication: Serve as the technical point of contact for overseas and domestic factories, providing clear guidance to minimize sample rounds and ensure production accuracy.
ROLE REQUIREMENTS
Experience: 5+ years of experience in Technical Design, specifically within the Contemporary Women’s market.
Aesthetic Intuition: A deep understanding of contemporary fit trends, fabric behavior, and high-end finishing techniques.
3D Innovation: Proficiency in 3D pattern-making software (e.g., CLO 3D, Browzwear/VStitcher) for 3D draping and virtual sampling is a significant plus.
Technical Mastery: Expert knowledge of garment construction, pattern making, and grading.
Communication: Ability to bridge the gap between creative design language and technical manufacturing requirements.
