Descripción del empleo

Knitwear Designer / Product Developer — Barcelona

We’re hiring at KNIT STUDIO LAB .

I’m looking for a Knitwear Designer / Product Developer to join our Barcelona studio and work closely with me across the development of knitwear collections for international fashion brands.

I’m looking for someone with a strong fashion eye, real product sensitivity and a good understanding of knitwear — someone who can look at a runway reference, a vintage piece, a yarn, a stitch or a market direction and understand how to translate it into a relevant, commercial product.

The role will be very hands-on and will cover the full creative and development process:

• Trend, runway and market research
• Development of knitwear concepts and collections
• CADs and technical specifications
• Yarn, stitch and color research
• Working with different gauges, constructions and knit techniques
• Adapting concepts to the DNA and commercial needs of each brand
• Reviewing samples and identifying what needs to be corrected or improved
• Working closely with our development and production teams in Asia
• Supporting collection preparation and presentations

We work across several international fashion brands and different womenswear directions, so the ability to switch aesthetic codes quickly is essential.

I’m particularly interested in designers who are:

• Strong in womenswear and knitwear
• Extremely aware of fashion, brands, runway and market movement
• Commercial without being basic
• Fast, organised and comfortable working on several collections at the same time
• Very detail-oriented with proportion, silhouette, colour and finishing
• Able to recognise when a sample is simply “not good enough” and explain how to improve it
• Curious about yarns, stitches, new techniques and product innovation


• Confident using Adobe Illustrator
• Independent, proactive and comfortable taking responsibility for their work

Previous experience with international brands, suppliers or fast-paced fashion environments will be highly valued.

I care much more about taste, product instinct and attitude than an impressive job title.

You need to be someone who genuinely looks at fashion, understands what is happening in the market and wants to make better product — not just execute technical drawings.
