This global luxury fashion brand with a distinctive design identity has an opportunity for a Sock Designer to take full ownership of their men's and women's sock collection.
This is a rare specialist role, sitting within the design team and working closely with the Design Director and RTW designers to create product that genuinely reflects the brand's creative direction. You'll lead the process from initial research and concept through to final specification, managing supplier relationships and critical path along the way.
The right person will have solid experience in sock design, a strong technical grounding across construction, gauges, stitches and yarn composition, and a deep understanding of knitted textiles. We would expect at least five years' experience and that you are at full designer level. You'll produce detailed tech packs and specification drawings to a high standard and manage the development process with factories directly. Proficiency across Adobe Creative Suite is essential. You'll be as comfortable designing both commercially and creating innovative, elevated ideas. You'll be able to bring a genuine point of view on colour, texture, pattern and design.
N.B. This is a studio based role located in Central London. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK. We require at least five years' experience post-graduation in knitted textile design and ideally with substantial experience in designing socks. Please only apply if you can meet these requirements.
