Fashion Designer

Gurugram, Sector 43 · Full-time, Work From Office

The Fashion Designer translates the house's design language into resolved, wearable garments — holding the line between concept, craft and construction. The role demands equal fluency in form and detail: the ability to develop a silhouette, to work closely with artisans, and to take a design from first sketch through to an approved, production-ready sample.

Modular Apparel Design

  • Develop designs within a modular design system where components, panels and finishes are conceived to work across styles rather than as isolated garments.
  • Design with versatility in mind — pieces that can be styled, layered or adapted without losing their integrity.
  • Maintain consistency of proportion, construction logic and detailing across a modular range.
  • Build and maintain a design library of validated components, blocks and finishes for reuse across seasons.

Silhouette & Form

  • Develop silhouettes with a clear point of view — resolving drape, volume, structure and movement on the body.
  • Work through draping and toile iterations to arrive at a considered, flattering form.
  • Refine fit and proportion across sizes without diluting the original design intent.
  • Evaluate fabric behaviour and select materials that support the intended silhouette.

Heritage Craft & Surface

  • Research and interpret traditional craft, embroidery and surface techniques with accuracy and respect for their origin.
  • Develop surface treatments, placements and embroidery layouts in collaboration with karigars and craft clusters.
  • Translate heritage techniques into a refined, contemporary design language rather than literal reproduction.
  • Document craft processes, motifs, thread and material specifications for consistency across production.

Technical Design & Sampling

  • Prepare detailed technical packs: flats, construction notes, measurement specifications, trims, finishes and stitch details.
  • Work with pattern masters and sample tailors through first sample, fit sample and final sample stages.
  • Conduct and record fit sessions, issue clear correction comments and drive each sample to approval.
  • Resolve construction and finishing problems early, balancing design intent with manufacturability.

Collection Development

  • Contribute to concept boards, colour direction, fabric stories and line plans with the Creative Director.
  • Own assigned styles end to end — from research and sketch through to final approved sample.
  • Maintain the collection calendar, keeping design and sampling milestones on schedule.
  • Review the range for balance, coherence and commercial viability before finalisation.

Production & Artisan Collaboration

  • Work closely with karigars, embroiderers, tailors and vendors to ensure execution matches approved samples.
  • Attend and support pre-production meetings, sealer sample approvals and in-line quality checks.
  • Troubleshoot production issues in a way that protects quality, timeline and cost.
  • Build long-term, respectful working relationships with craft partners.

Mindset

  • Uncompromising attention to detail and a high personal standard of finish.
  • Restraint — the judgement to know what to leave out.
  • Collaborative, calm and accountable under a demanding calendar.
  • Curious about craft, material and technique; committed to continuous learning.

Knowledge

  • Strong command of garment construction, pattern logic, fits and finishing standards.
  • Working knowledge of fabrics, trims, embroidery techniques and their behaviour in production.
  • Awareness of global and Indian design movements, occasion wear and the luxury market.
  • Understanding of costing implications of design and material decisions.

Key Performance Indicators

  • Design-to-sample accuracy and number of iterations required to reach approval.
  • On-time delivery of designs, tech packs and samples against the collection calendar.
  • Quality and consistency of finished garments against approved samples.
  • Contribution of accepted styles to each collection and their commercial performance.

Skills

  • Sketching, illustration and technical flats.
  • Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop; CAD / digital design tools.
  • Draping, pattern understanding and fit correction.
  • Tech pack documentation and clear written specification.
  • Vendor, karigar and cross-functional communication.
