Lost in Paradise in Bali is seeking a Senior Fashion Designer & Product Developer to lead concept-to-sample development, researching trends and markets to create fresh, commercially strong designs.
You will work with pattern makers and production teams to ensure fit, quality, and timely delivery while delivering a cohesive international collection that reflects the Lost in Paradise aesthetic.
Lost in Paradise is looking for an experienced, highly creative and commercially minded Senior Fashion Designer & Product Developer to join the team in Bali. This role requires someone who truly lives and breathes fashion - constantly researching, analysing the market, discovering new ideas and thinking about what should be created next. This is not a role for someone who simply waits for a design brief. The ideal candidate is proactive, understands the customer and brand, can identify gaps and opportunities within collections, and confidently develops fresh products that are both creative and commercially strong.
Research global fashion trends, competitors and international markets to identify upcoming styles, silhouettes, colours, fabrics and new opportunities.
Analyse the market and recommend the right selection and balance of dresses, tops, bottoms, sets and key seasonal pieces for each collection.
Develop fresh and innovative designs that feel relevant to the Lost in Paradise aesthetic while bringing something new to the brand.
Understand our target customer and use both market insights and previous sales performance to help determine what we should develop next.
Review best-selling products and identify opportunities to evolve successful silhouettes into new styles rather than simply repeating them.
Create original garment designs from initial concept and sketches through to sampling and final development.
Have a strong understanding of fit, proportion and body shape, particularly when developing dresses and womenswear silhouettes.
Select and recommend fabrics, colours, prints, trims and finishes appropriate for each design.
Work closely with pattern makers, sampling and production teams throughout the development process.
Lead sample fittings and provide clear, detailed revisions to improve fit, construction and finishing.
Maintain a strong eye for detail and ensure products meet our quality and brand standards before production.
Manage multiple styles and developments simultaneously while keeping collections moving according to schedule.
Continuously bring new references, product ideas and opportunities to the team - without waiting to be asked.
Strong professional experience in fashion design and product development
Experience designing for international markets is highly preferred
Strong knowledge of international summer, resort and lifestyle fashion
Excellent understanding of garment construction, fit, fabrics and colour
Strong trend forecasting and competitor research skills
A good balance of creativity and commercial awareness
Ability to understand what customers want while still introducing something fresh
Strong eye for silhouettes, proportions and details
Confident developing a cohesive collection rather than individual pieces in isolation
Highly proactive, curious and self-motivated
Fast-moving and comfortable working in a dynamic fashion environment
Strong organisational and time-management skills
Confident communicating ideas and taking ownership of projects
Someone who is always looking, researching, thinking and bringing the next idea
We're looking for someone who can look at the market, understand the Lost in Paradise customer and confidently answer:
What should we be making next?
If you're passionate about creating fashion that feels fresh, wearable and commercially relevant, we'd love to hear from you.
