Company Description Yuzi is a contemporary fashion house positioned at the intersection of culture, craft, and modern identity, creating intentional clothing designed to belong in people’s lives. The brand transforms everyday essentials into elevated statements through clean silhouettes, refined fabrics, and a sharp design philosophy focused on longevity and relevance. Yuzi’s process is highly collaborative, bringing together designers, makers, and partners to create garments that reflect a global mindset while remaining deeply personal.

The company values craftsmanship, innovation, and responsibility, continuously refining how products are designed, produced, and experienced. Guided by inclusivity, adaptability, and purpose, Yuzi is culture-led rather than trend-led, building a growing presence across channels and communities.

Role Description The Lead Designer is a full time, on-site role based in Bengaluru, responsible for steering Yuzi’s creative direction across collections and product lines. This role involves translating brand philosophy into cohesive seasonal concepts, designing garments from initial sketch to final sample, and ensuring alignment with Yuzi’s aesthetic, quality, and sustainability standards.

The Lead

Designer will oversee design development, collaborate closely with pattern makers, production teams, and merchandisers, and provide clear guidance to junior designers and cross-functional partners. Day-to-day work includes researching cultural and fashion references, selecting fabrics and trims, refining fits, managing design timelines,



and supporting lookbook, campaign, and in-store visual narratives. The person in this role will also participate in design reviews, give and receive constructive feedback, and help uphold an inclusive, collaborative studio environment.

Demonstrated experience leading or owning design directions for contemporary or luxury apparel brands, preferably in womenswear, menswear, or unisex collections.

Proficiency with design and visualization tools (e.g., Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, CLO or similar 3D tools) and familiarity with tech packs and spec sheets.

Ability to work hands-on with fabrics, color, and trims, with a refined sense of silhouette, proportion, and detail aligned to Yuzi’s aesthetic.

Comfort collaborating with cross-functional teams spanning production, sourcing, merchandising, and marketing, with strong communication and presentation skills.

Experience balancing creativity with commercial awareness, including an understanding of market trends, customer behavior, and brand positioning without being trend-led.

Commitment to inclusive and responsible design practices, with sensitivity to cultural references and diverse identities.

Prior experience mentoring or guiding junior designers and contributing to studio processes and workflows.
