Senior Designer - Womens Tailoring

We are currently working on an exciting opportunity for a highly creative and fashion-forward Womenswear Tailoring Designer. Our client, a well-established and respected womenswear supplier to some of the UK's leading high street retailers, is seeking an experienced designer with a strong commercial mindset, exceptional trend awareness, and the confidence to take ownership of their category from day one.

You will have a strong personal sense of style, be immersed in current and emerging trends, and have the ability to translate these into commercially successful collections.

• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to interpret trends for the high‑street market
• Confident, professional communicator with experience presenting to buyers and stakeholders
• Highly organised, self‑sufficient, and able to manage multiple deadlines in a very busy environment
