Type: Contract - 2 Months

Key Responsibilities

Design & Creative Development

• Independently conceptualise styles and capsule directions suited to ZAVI’s markets — Dubai, Riyadh, & the UK — accounting for silhouette, chic but modest sensibility, for the mature audience, climate, and price architecture

• Initiate market and trend research and translate findings into cohesive design directions

• Develop mood boards, sketches, and fabric concepts as fully formed proposals — not loose references

• Bring ideas to the Lead for alignment, then own execution completely from that point

• Maintain and evolve ZAVI’s design language: minimalist, seasonless, contemporary, conscious

Technical Design

• Produce accurate tech packs with full construction details, graded measurements, and material specifications

• Create detailed flat sketches in Adobe Illustrator

• Manage all revision rounds through to final approved spec

Sampling

• Conduct or assist in fit sessions — log corrections with precision, update specs, track iterations

• Approve final samples in line with ZAVI’s quality and aesthetic standards

Production & Factory Management

• Manage day-to-day communication with manufacturing partners

• Visit factories globally, Independently or with the Lead as required

• Negotiate lead times and flag risks to the production calendar proactively

• Oversee QC at production stage and upon delivery

Sourcing

• Source fabrics, trims, and finishes aligned with ZAVI’s sustainable material framework

• Maintain and grow a network of reliable, ethical suppliers — particularly within India

What We’re Looking For

• 7 - 10 years of experience in fashion design with end-to-end production involvement

• A portfolio that demonstrates design authorship and commercial range — not just execution

• Proven ability to design for more than one market, with an understandi
