Responsibilities & Context:
Market Analysis: Conduct continuous market and trend research (runway shows, social media, consumer behavior, and retail competition) to forecast future color palettes, silhouettes, and themes.
Mood Boards: Create seasonal mood boards, concept boards, and color stories that align with the brand’s identity and commercial target market.
Line Building: Develop seasonal line architectures and sweater classifications (e.g., core basics vs. high-fashion trend pieces).
Sketching: Produce clear hand sketches or digital flats (using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or CAD software) of sweater silhouettes, necklines, sleeves, and body lengths.
Stitch & Pattern Design: Design specialized knit structures, patterns, and textures (e.g., cables, ribbing, jacquards, pointelle, intarsia, and jersey stitches).
Yarn Sourcing & Selection: Choose appropriate yarns based on texture, weight, season, and cost (e.g., wool, cotton, cashmere, acrylic, synthetic blends).
Gauge and Machine Specification: Determine the correct machine gauges (e.g., 3GG, 5GG, 7GG, 12GG) required for specific knit weights.
Tech Pack Creation: Prepare detailed technical specification packages (Tech Packs) containing flat drawings, measurements, stitch charts, trims, and colorways for factories and manufacturing units.
Prototype Evaluation: Review initial prototype samples (proto/counter samples) sent from mills or buying houses to check design accuracy and aesthetic execution.
Fit Sessions: Lead or participate in fit sessions alongside technical designers and pattern makers to evaluate garment drape, sizing, and balance.
Modifications: Identify fit or construction problems and recommend precise alterations (e.g., adjusting tension, altering armholes, or correcting length) before bulk production.
Cross-Functional Teamwork: Work closely with merchandisers, product developers, sourcing teams, and quality control (QC) departments.
Vendor Communication: Act as the primary point of contact for external vendors, yarn mills, and overseas manufacturers to clarify specs, monitor development schedules, and resolve production hiccups.
Cost Control: Ensure that designs stay within target cost margins and pricing structures set by the company.
