  • Own end-to-end product development, creating detailed tech packs and working closely with Garment Tech to ensure designs are accurately translated into final product, on time, on budget.
  • Lead fittings and make considered adjustments to achieve the right fit, finish, and construction across every style.

  • Review weekly sell-through data and take accountability for product performance, applying commercial insights to future design decisions.
