The Role

We are looking for a creative and commercially-minded Fashion Designer with a strong understanding of contemporary Indian women's fashion.

- Create mood boards, design concepts, sketches and detailed design specifications.
- Develop new silhouettes across kurta sets, anarkalis, co-ords, kaftans, capes, shararas, sarees and occasion wear.
- Select fabrics, colours, trims, embroidery and surface detailing for current designs.
- Work closely with tailors, embroiderers, artisans and vendors to develop samples.




- Manage the sampling process from first sample to final approval, including fit and design corrections.
- Maintain a strong understanding of garment construction, fit and finishing.
- Create and maintain design sheets / tech packs and ensure designs are communicated accurately to production.
- Identify opportunities to improve existing products based on customer feedback and sales performance.
- Work with the Founder to build seasonal collections and product launches.
- Ensure every product reflects the brand's aesthetic while also being commercially viable.
- Keep track of fashion and consumer trends across India and international markets.

What We Are Looking For
- 3–5 years of experience in women's fashion / apparel design.
- Experience with Indian ethnic, contemporary Indian or occasion wear will be strongly preferred.
- Strong understanding of fabrics, garment construction, embroidery and embellishment.
- Excellent sense of colour, proportion, s
