Fashion Designer
Description
Burnt Studios is an activewear brand designing performance and lifestyle apparel for people who move. As we grow our ranges, we're building out our design team and looking for a mid-level designer to help shape the future of our womenswear offering.
We're looking for a mid-level fashion designer to join our design team, with womenswear as a strong focus of this role. This is a hands-on position suited to someone with design experience, whether gained as a fashion designer, apparel/product designer, or graphic designer. We want someone who has genuine enthusiasm for activewear. What matters most is proven design experience in fashion and/or product, strong technical execution and a hardworking, hands-on approach.
Key Responsibilities
Support in the designing and developing of womens activewear ranges, from initial concept through to production-ready artwork and tech packs
Research trends, fabrics and the competitive activewear and athleisure landscape to inform seasonal collections
Create technical drawings (CADS), prints, and graphics using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
Collaborate closely with the Senior Designer, Fashion Designers and buying team to ensure designs are commercially and technically viable
Prepare and maintain accurate techpacks, spec sheets and design documentation
Source and select fabrics, trims and print or pattern references aligned with the brand's identity
Support fittings and sample reviews, providing design input and revisions as needed
Stay up to date with activewear trends, competitor ranges and customer feedback
Support the design team more broadly, including with CAD drawings, technical drawings, and tech packs
What We're Looking For
Around 2–5 years' design experience in fashion, apparel, product, or graphic design, the specific title matters less than a proven track record designing in fashion and/or product
A strong portfolio demonstrating design skill and creative range, whatever the background it comes from
Genuine interest and enthusiasm for womenswear and activewear, which will be a strong focus of this role
Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
An understanding of garment construction, fabrics, and production processes is an advantage, or a strong willingness to learn quickly
Highly motivated, hands-on, and enthusiastic, with a strong work ethic and a genuine eagerness to grow within a fast-paced brand
Excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills
Comfortable working collaboratively within a small, fast-moving team
