About Acton
At
Acton
, we don't just make clothes; we bring stories to life. We are a kidswear brand built on a foundation of original characters and enchanting narratives. We're looking for a visionary Fashion Designer who can take our existing lore and transform it into a collection that captures the imagination of children and the trust of parents.
The Role
We aren't looking for someone to just "sketch a shirt." We need a creative powerhouse who can translate the DNA of our stories into high-quality, functional, and magical garments. You will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of the garment—from the first character-inspired mood board to the final production-ready tech pack.
What You'll Do
* Narrative Translation:
Deep-dive into our existing stories and characters to design apparel that feels like an extension of the Acton world.
* End-to-End Design:
Conceptualise seasonal collections, including sketching (CAD), color palette selection, and textile print development.
* Technical Excellence:
Create comprehensive, factory-ready
Tech Packs
(including BOM, graded specs, and construction details).
* Sourcing & Sustainability:
Select fabrics that are kid-friendly, durable, and aligned with our brand's ethos.
* Sampling & Fit:
Oversee the sampling process, conducting fit sessions to ensure our clothes are "play-proof" and comfortable.
Who You Are
* A Technical Artist:
You have a degree in Fashion Design and are a wizard in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator/Photoshop).
* Kidswear Expert:
You understand the nuances of children's sizing, safety regulations (like drawstring and button standards), and the importance of soft-on-skin fabrics.
* Detail Obsessed:
You know that a Tech Pack is the "Bible" of a garment and take pride in its precision.
* Storyteller at Heart:
You're excited by the idea of making a child feel like they've stepped right into their favourite book.
How to Apply
Please send your portfolio, a brief cover letter telling us your favourite childhood story, and your resume to
.
Portfolios that showcase both creative sketches and technical tech packs will be prioritised.
Acton is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate magic, diversity, and the curiosity of childhood.
