Senior Designer Menswear (Knit)
Job Profile:
We are seeking a commercially savvy Senior Menswear Knitwear Designer to lead our fast-paced high-street collections. This role requires a unique hybrid skill set: deep technical expertise in fully fashioned knitwear combined with a solid background in graphic design and print placement for cut-and-sew jersey (T-shirts, polos, and sweats).
Key Responsibilities
1. Trend Translation & Fast-Fashion Strategy:
Rapidly analyze and react to global street-style, social media, and competitor trends to deliver weekly newness and high-turnover product ranges. Create commercial, high-impact trend boards, color palettes, and product maps specifically optimized for the high-street menswear market. Pitch seasonal and fast-track injection ranges confidently to buying and merchandising teams.
2. Knitwear & Jersey Product Development
Design across both Knitwear (fully fashioned sweaters, cardigans, fine gauges) and Jersey/Cut-and-Sew (polos, heavyweight T-shirts, premium loungewear). Maintain solid fundamentals in knit gauges,
basic stitch structures, and cost-effective yarn alternatives (cotton blends, premium synthetics, and recycled yarns) to meet strict target margins. Conduct rapid fit and styling sessions, ensuring commercial blocks match the target demographic's aesthetic.
3. Graphic Design & Print Execution
Conceptualize and execute original placement graphics, typography, embroidery layouts, and all-over prints (AOP) for T-shirts and engineered polos. Develop specialized artwork for various high-street print techniques (e.g., screen print, puff print, high-density, flocking, and digital printing) as well as yarn-dyed stripes and jacquards for polos.
Deliver production-ready graphic tech packs, including precise Pantones, scale measurements, and separation files for factories.
4. Sourcing, Speed-to-Market & Vendor Collaboration
Partner with vendors to maximize speed-to-market without compromising visual execution. Buil
