• Support the development of streetwear-inspired apparel, including denim, workwear, and relaxed silhouettes.
• Research and explore fabric washes, finishes, construction details, and design treatments.
• Assist with sample organization, tracking, and general design department needs.
• Collaborate with the Design and Brand Partnerships teams to ensure concepts align with seasonal direction and brand aesthetics.
• Help prepare presentation materials and organize creative assets for internal reviews and collaboration meetings.
• Demonstrate an interest in incorporating emerging AI design tools into the creative process.

• 1–2 years of apparel design experience, ideally within streetwear, contemporary apparel, or related fashion categories.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.
• A strong, detailed portfolio demonstrating design concepts, creative storytelling, and technical execution.
• Understanding of contemporary streetwear trends, proportions, silhouettes, and design aesthetics.
• Interest in denim, workwear, garment washes, and fabric finishes.
• Ability to translate creative ideas into clear digital sketches and presentations.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple projects.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach.
• Interest and willingness to learn and utilize AI-powered design tools.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous experience designing denim or denim-inspired apparel is a plus, but not required.
• Familiarity with workwear styling, garment washes, finishes, and relaxed silhouettes.
• Experience supporting brand collaborations or seasonal apparel collections.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design platforms, such as Magnetic, is a plus.
• Hand-sketching ability is welcome but not required, provided concepts can be translated into digital formats.
• Previous menswear design experience is beneficial but not mandatory.

We are particularly interested in portfolios that demonstrate:

• Streetwear-inspired apparel concepts and collections.
• Denim, workwear, washes, finishes, and relaxed proportions.
• Clear creative storytelling, from initial inspiration through final design.
• Mood boards, trend research, sketches, and digital design presentations.
• Strong Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop execution.
• An understanding of the design and development process.

Denim projects are highly encouraged, but not required. Candidates without direct menswear experience are welcome to apply if their portfolios reflect the desired streetwear aesthetic.
