Join the team shaping women’s collections for Scotch & Soda, the Amsterdam-born contemporary brand known for its eclectic styling, thoughtful detailing, and globally inspired perspective. We are seeking a creatively driven Associate Women’s Sportswear Designer with a strong focus on woven categories to contribute to product with international reach and a distinctive point of view.
Reporting to the Design Director, you will play a hands‑on role in developing seasonal woven collections — from concept and fabric direction through final production approval. This role centers on elevated woven tops, dresses, skirts, and tailored separates, with an emphasis on construction, fabrication, and detail‑driven design.
You will collaborate cross‑functionally with Technical Design, Merchandising, Sourcing, and global production partners to ensure each collection reflects the brand’s creative DNA while delivering commercial impact. This position offers meaningful exposure to the full design lifecycle within a fast‑paced, internationally connected environment.
The ideal candidate brings strong woven construction knowledge, fabric expertise, and a passion for contemporary womenswear, with an appreciation for the layered, expressive aesthetic that defines Scotch & Soda.
Key Responsibilities- Contribute to the development of seasonal collections with a strong focus on woven categories, including blouses, dresses, skirts, tailored separates, and lightweight outerwear.
- Translate creative direction into production‑ready CADs, detailed tech packs, and woven specification packages, ensuring clarity across construction, fabrication, and finishing details.
- Partner with the Design Director to support silhouette development, proportion refinement, and woven category expansion, balancing structure and fluidity within the collection.
- Conduct and lead woven fabric research, identifying elevated cottons, poplins, twills, weaves, printed yardage, specialty trims, and wash techniques that drive seasonal product direction.
- Collaborate closely with Technical Design during fit sessions and construction reviews to ensure precision in seam finishes, closures, drape, and overall garment integrity.
- Work cross‑functionally with Sourcing and Production to validate fabric feasibility, costing, and development timelines across global vendors.
- Support the evolution of seasonal color stories, print concepts, and fabric narratives that align with Scotch & Soda’s contemporary aesthetic.
- Maintain organized seasonal documentation and digital archives, ensuring smooth workflow from proto through final production.
- Manage multiple woven categories within the seasonal calendar, balancing creative exploration with commercial execution.
- Leverage advanced AI‑driven design tools, including Straight Lines AI, to support concept development, category exploration, and workflow optimization.
