Job description

Small clothes. Big attention to detail.

I’m hiring a Childrenswear Technical Designer with a sharp eye for fit, strong garment construction knowledge, and the technical skills to turn a design concept into a production-ready piece.

If you can spot a fit issue, map out the correction, and give a factory clear direction to get it right, let’s talk.

• You’ll guide styles from pre-fitting through production fit approval, partnering with the Director of Technical Design to achieve the right fit, silhouette, and construction.
• From live-model fittings to overseas factory communication, your work will help turn creative ideas into garments that come together beautifully.

• Make corrections that count. Use garment patterns, diagrams, and precise fit comments to communicate adjustments while preserving the intended design.
• Keep development moving. Partner with Production on sample approvals, track outstanding corrections, and support Time and Action deadlines.
