Job Summary: We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Women’s Denim Designer / Product Developer with a deep understanding of denim fabric, women’s fits, washes, trims, and construction techniques. You will be responsible for driving the development of trend-forward, high-quality women’s denim products — from initial concept to final production approval. This is a hands-on role that requires regular factory visits, deep technical knowledge, and an eye for design aesthetics tailored to the women's market. Key Responsibilities: 1. Design & Trend Development ● Research global fashion trends, washes, and fits relevant to women’s denim. ● Develop seasonal women’s denim collections aligned with the brand’s vision and customer profile. ● Create mood boards, concept presentations, detailed sketches, and wash inspirations. ● Innovate on silhouettes, detailing, and finishes, keeping the customer and market trends in mind. 2. Fabric, Wash & Fit Development ● Source and select suitable denim fabrics (rigid, stretch, recycled, etc.) in line with seasonal requirements. ● Work closely with laundries and wash technicians to develop desired effects — from light stone washes to heavy destruction, bleaching, tints, etc. ● Ensure consistency in washes and fits across sampling and production stages. ● Lead fit sessions and provide feedback on patterns and garment construction for women’s body types. 3. Sampling & Trims ● Manage the end-to-end sample development process ● Source and develop trims (buttons, rivets, zippers, patches, labels) tailored to women's denim aesthetics. ● Collaborate with sampling units and pattern masters to ensure accurate execution of design and construction. 4. Vendor & Factory Coordination ● Maintain strong working relationships with factories and wash units. ● Conduct regular vendor and factory visits for sampling, fit approvals, and production monitoring. ● Coordinate timelines to ensure on-time delivery of samples and PP approvals. 5. Technical Documentation & Approvals ● Create and maintain detailed tech packs, BOMs (Bill of Materials), wash standards, and spec sheets. ● Review and approve all key samples, PP samples, and TOPs (Top of Production) with a focus on design integrity and production feasibility. ● Ensure all development aligns with cost targets and production lead times. ● 6. Quality & Compliance ● Work closely with QA teams to ensure garments meet internal standards of quality, wash stability, and garment performance. ● Monitor production samples to maintain fit, wash, and finish consistency across the bulk. Qualifications: ● Degree in Fashion Design, or Apparel Product Development from NIFT , Pearl or equivalent. ● 5–7 years of hands-on experience in women’s denim design or product development. ● Strong understanding of women’s denim fits (high-rise, wide-leg, mom jeans, skinny, etc.) and construction. ● Expertise in denim fabrics, wash processes, and trim development. ● Solid understanding of garment measurements, patterns, and technical specifications. ● Excellent organizational, communication, and vendor management skills. ● Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Excel, and tech pack creation. ● Comfortable with regular travel to factories and vendors.
