We are looking for a highly skilled Technical Apparel Designer to develop a comprehensive Design Tech Pack for a signature luxury polo shirt: "The Eternal Polo" by Maison ZEHPA.
The objective is to create a hybrid piece that combines the comfort of luxury jersey with the structural rigor of a sartorial shirt. We are targeting the absolute luxury segment (competing with brands like Cucinelli or Loro Piana).
Key Responsibilities:
Technical Drawings: Create detailed 2D Flat Sketches (Front, Back, Interior) including all construction details.
Collar Engineering: This is the core of the project. You will need to design the internal architecture for a buttonless, upright "Camicia" collar (3cm collar stand) that remains dynamic without collapsing.
Material Integration: Incorporate technical data from our fabric supplier (Mario Cucchetti). You must account for a 6% shrinkage rate (Interlock, 200 gsm, 100% Giza 87 Cotton) in the pattern engineering.
Bill of Materials (BOM): Create a detailed nomenclature including fabric, specific interlining recommendations for the collar, and reinforcement tapes.
Measurement Charts: Develop a base size specification (Size M) and a preliminary grading scale.
Required Expertise:
Proven experience in luxury menswear (specifically "Cut & Sew" / Luxury Knits).
Deep understanding of sartorial construction (shirt-making techniques applied to jersey).
Expertise in Adobe Illustrator and Tech Pack software (Techpacker, Zedonk, or similar).
Knowledge of industrial assembly for luxury standards (no visible topstitching, clean interior finishing).
Project Assets Provided:
Technical Data Sheet of the fabric (Cucchetti Logic
Visual references of the desired collar "roll" and structure.
Physical reference sample (Collars & Co) measurements.
Budget: To be discussed (Fixed price per milestone preferred).
Timeline: Urgent – Delivery of the first draft within 5-7 days.
Application Requirement: Please share examples of Tech Packs you have developed for premium/luxury brands, specifically projects involving structured collars or complex knit constructions.
Contract duration of less than 1 month.
Mandatory skills: Fashion Design, Clothing, Male, Concept Design, Technical Design, Fashion Illustration, Haute Couture
