Working closely with designers and buyers, you will ensure that fit, silhouette, and construction meet both aesthetic and technical expectations, always with the customer in mind.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Drive fittings by leading sessions, evaluating samples, and making necessary pattern adjustments to secure the right fit and silhouette.
- Develop patterns for new styles as well as update existing ones to improve fit and consistency across the assortment.
- Ensure accurate grading across all sizes to maintain consistent fit and comfort.
- Work closely with designers to interpret design concepts—often from limited briefs—and translate them into technical solutions.
- Collaborate with buyers, production teams, and suppliers, ensuring clear communication and alignment throughout development.
- Handle daily follow-ups with production and suppliers, clarifying construction details and resolving technical questions.
- Prioritize workload between fittings, pattern creation, and ongoing product updates in a fast-moving environment.
WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH
You will be part of a cross-functional product team, working closely with a Senior Designer and Senior Buyer.
In addition, you will collaborate with production offices, suppliers, and occasionally a seamstress when developing prototypes.
WHO YOU ARE
We are looking for someone who combines strong technical expertise with a passion for product and fit. You are comfortable working both independently and together with others, and you enjoy being part of a creative and fast-paced environment.
We believe you have:
- Experience working as a Pattern Maker within the fashion industry (not entry level).
- Strong knowledge of grading, garment construction, and pattern development.
- Experience working with different product types, preferably within woven garments.
- Hands-on experience with PLM systems and pattern-making tools
- Ability to collaborate closely with designers and translate creative ideas into technical solutions.
- The ability to prioritize, stay structured, and deliver high-quality work in an operational role.
And who are:
- Collaborative and enjoy working closely with others.
- Self-driven and comfortable working independently when needed.
- Creative, curious, and interested in developing new silhouettes and fits.
- Focused and able to work in detail-heavy tasks over longer periods.
- Proactive and willing to contribute with your own ideas in the product development process.
