London Area, United Kingdom 360 Talent Full time

Be part of a world where there's no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to getting dressed - a world where women have access to the same sartorial power and confidence that bespoke tailoring has traditionally offered men.

Meticulously crafted to fill the gaps in a contemporary woman's wardrobe and drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of Savile Row tailoring, Our client's collection reimagines classic menswear silhouettes with a distinctly feminine twist, offering a perfect balance of sophistication and practicality.

From initial proto samples to gold seal approvals and production control, you will oversee the technical execution of designs while aligning with the brand's luxury standards. You will work closely with pattern cutters, factories, and the in-house production team to achieve consistent fits, exceptional craftsmanship, and compliance with legal standards. Factory visits and retail support will also be key aspects of the role, ensuring quality control and issue resolution.
